GlenAllachie Rye Wood Finish Aged 9 Years
GlenAllachie Rye Wood Finish is a gorgeous golden malt that has been bottled at 48% and matured in premium American Oak Wood Barrels before being re-racked into bold and punchy Kentucky Rye Casks. The different toasting and charring levels of these casks combined with the Rye maturation adds a rich and spicy twist to the classic GlenAllachie style. From Batch 2 of the GlenAllachie Wood Finish Range.

The GlenAllachie Distillery was the fourth distillery designed by William-Delme Evans and built by Mackinlay McPherson (distilling arm of Scottish and Newcastle). It was designed to be almost full gravity fed to run on reduced energy.
In February 1968, the distillery began its first production run with the capacity of producing almost three million litres of alcohol. Operations began with two stills and increased to four after just six months.
September 2021 – Batch 3 of GlenAllachie’s coveted Wood Finish range was launched, representing Billy Walker’s meticulous approach to wood management and innovation.
