This particular GlenAllachie expression undergoes a meticulous maturation process that contributes to its distinctive character. Initially, it is matured in ex-Bourbon American oak casks, where it develops its foundational flavors and characteristics. Subsequently, the whisky is transferred to a combination of puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry. These sherry casks infuse the whisky with their unique flavors and aromas, enhancing its complexity and depth.
After this double maturation process, the whisky is bottled at a strength of 46% alcohol by volume (abv). This bottling strength allows the flavors and nuances of the whisky to shine, giving enthusiasts the opportunity to experience its full range of aromas and taste profiles. The Master Distiller, with keen attention to detail, has described this expression as achieving an "exceptional balance" between the distillery's signature spirit character and the distinct influence imparted by the sherry casks used during maturation.
Overall, the combination of ex-Bourbon American oak and sherry cask finishing results in a whisky that showcases a harmonious interplay of flavors, offering a memorable and well-rounded sensory experience for whisky enthusiasts.
