The GlenAllachie Launches Wood Collection Regional Exclusives for UK and Europe
The GlenAllachie has announced the launch of two limited edition regional exclusives in its Wood Collection series.
The GlenAllachie 12 Year Old Sauternes Wine Cask Finish, UK Exclusive:
Initially matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being transferred to hogsheads that previously held Sauternes, a white dessert wine from the French region of Bordeaux. It’s described as having aromas of “honeycomb, butterscotch and toffee sauce, with crystalised ginger, mocha and peaches.” The palate exhibits flavors of “tropical fruits, heather honey and baking spices, followed by demerara sugar, coconut and marmalade, with citrus notes, caramel and ice cream on the finish.” RRSP £67.99.
The GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Ruby Port Cask Finish, Europe Exclusive:
Initially matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, before being transferred to hogsheads that previously held Ruby Port from Portugal’s Douro Valley. It’s described as having aromas of “orange zest, apricots and crystalized red berries, with notes of ginger, heather honey and rich dark chocolate.” The palate exhibits flavors of “raspberry coulis, crystalized honeycomb and red berry ice cream, followed by cinnamon, candied berries and mocha.” RRSP £61.99.
The GlenAllachie Wood Collection regional exclusives are bottled at 48% ABV without chill filtration or artificial coloring and are available now.
