GlenAllachie 12 isn’t just a whisky, it’s a bold declaration. When Billy Walker took over this under-the-radar Speyside distillery in 2017, he didn’t aim to follow tradition ,he set out to reinvent it. The 12 Year Old became his cornerstone expression, handcrafted to reflect his signature style: sherry driven richness, texture, and soul. Taking your first sip feels like stumbling onto a hidden jazz club, intimate, expressive, and unforgettable. It’s not about making noise. It’s about making a statement.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like walking into a countryside bakery in autumn, sticky toffee, warm cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and hints of aged oak.
Palate: Full-bodied and luscious. Layers of butterscotch, dark fruit, spiced cocoa, and roasted coffee glide across the tongue, wrapped in a silky sherry warmth.
Finish: Long and elegant. Notes of dried figs and nutmeg rise and fade like a good conversation, leaving behind depth, not silence.

Production Details:
Aged in a curated blend of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, with a supporting cast of virgin oak and red wine barriques. Non-chill filtered and natural in color, each drop speaks to GlenAllachie’s commitment to authenticity and flavor-first craft. Every cask is hand-selected by Billy Walker himself, this isn’t whisky made by algorithm. It’s whisky made by instinct.

Interesting Fact:
Though GlenAllachie was founded in 1967, it wasn’t until 2017, when Billy Walker bought the distillery, that it released its first official single malt range. Until then, its spirit was used almost exclusively in blends. Talk about a glow-up.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat is the way to go, especially if you want to explore its sherry depth and spice. Add a few drops of water to let the honeyed notes bloom and soften the tannins. Skip the ice, it dulls the craftsmanship.

Distillery Background:
Tucked at the foot of Ben Rinnes in Speyside, GlenAllachie had a quiet past producing malt for blends. But that changed when Billy Walker, master blender and resurrectionist of GlenDronach and BenRiach, took the reins. With a focus on small batch production, bold wood policy, and full control over maturation, GlenAllachie now stands as one of Scotland’s most exciting independent distilleries. It’s not trying to be everywhere, it’s trying to be unforgettable.
