The Glenallachie Distillery is situated at the foot of Ben Rinnes, in the heart of the Speyside region of Scotland. As one of Scotland’s few independently owned and operated distilleries, it is currently led by industry legend Billy Walker, who boasts over 50 years of experience in the whisky world.

When Billy Walker acquired the distillery in October 2017, he discovered a vast inventory of aged spirits dating back to the 1970s. Utilizing these stocks, he has produced whiskies of exceptional quality, establishing Glenallachie as a beloved brand among enthusiasts.

The Glenallachie 12 Year Old is the flagship expression and the heart of the distillery’s core range. Bottled with its natural color and without chill-filtration, it offers a complex and well-balanced profile. The nose greets you with aromas of dark chocolate, treacle, and heather honey. On the palate, notes of marzipan—a confection made of almond meal and sugar—mingle with orchard fruits, warm mocha, and nutmeg. If you wish to experience the quintessential house style of Glenallachie, the 12-year-old is an excellent starting point.
