Youth with a Purpose. Provenance with Power.

Glenallachie 7 Year Old from Douglas Laing’s Provenance series is proof that age doesn’t define quality, character does. This single cask Speyside malt delivers bold personality, crisp distillery identity, and transparency in every drop. Bottled at 46% with no coloring or chill filtration, it's an honest dram with a young soul and an old-school backbone.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Fresh and zesty green orchard fruit, lemon peel, and vanilla fudge lead the way, backed by soft barley and floral undertones. Vibrant and clean with a touch of Speyside sweetness.

Palate:
Bright and mouth-coating. Juicy pear, honeyed cereal, and light citrus sparkle over a silky malt body. A dash of white pepper and oak spice adds structure without overwhelming its youthful charm.

Finish:
Medium-length and refreshing. Green apple skin, malted barley, and a subtle herbal note round it off with clarity and finesse.
