This Glenallachie has been treated to a quarter of a century of ageing since its distillation in 1995! It rested in a single refill hogshead for 25 years, until Douglas Laing emptied the cask in April 2020. The Speysider was bottled for the Xtra Old Particular series, with an outturn of 254 bottles at 58.5% ABV. Gloriously malty and honeyed, this one.

Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose is big, fragrant and immediately malted, honeyed and redolent and sweetie shops and ice cream parlours.

Palate: The palate is feisty with warming spices, gingery with a cinnamon twist ahead of its typical Speyside malt flair, with a finish that neatly reflects the qualities of its palate.

Country: Speyside - Scotland 

ABV: 58.5%
