Description: This limited-edition release from GlenAllachie showcases the distillery's expertise in cask management. Matured in a Sauternes barrique, a French oak cask that previously held the renowned sweet wine from Bordeaux, this whisky harmoniously blends the distillery's signature honeyed character with elegant notes of stone fruits and sweet spices imparted by the Sauternes cask. Bottled at a cask strength of 59.4% ABV, non-chill filtered, and with natural color, it offers a rich and indulgent tasting experience.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Golden amber.

• Aroma: Bursting with heather honey, citrus, and chocolate, complemented by hints of cinnamon, mocha, and green apples.

• Palate: Lashings of tropical fruit, honeyed apricots, and butterscotch, followed by baking spices, marmalade, and caramelized biscuit.

• Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of sweet spices and dried fruits.

Accolades: This expression is part of GlenAllachie's seventh batch of single casks, specially selected for the UK market, demonstrating the unique interaction of wood, spirit, and subsequent flavor development.

With only 312 bottles produced, the GlenAllachie 13-Year-Old 2009 Sauternes Cask offers a unique opportunity to experience the harmonious marriage of Speyside single malt and Sauternes wine cask influence.
