The GlenAllachie Launches Sinteis Part IV
The GlenAllachie Distillery has announced the launch of the fourth entry in its Sinteis Series (pronounced sin-teesh): The GlenAllachie Sinteis Part IV.
Sinteis Part IV is a 10 year old, 2015 vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky that was initially matured in bourbon barrels before spending time separately in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks. The whiskies were then combined and transferred to Mongolian virgin oak casks before bottling. Sinteis Part IV is presented of natural color, non-chill filtered, and at a cask strength of 58.5% ABV.
The GlenAllachie Sinteis Part IV is described as having aromas of “baked pastries, butterscotch, brandied orchard fruits, cocoa, treacle tart, cinnamon, and crystallised ginger.” The palate exhibits notes of “candied hazelnuts, baking spices, plum syrup, spiced baked orange, vanilla ice cream, mocha, mānuka honey, and fig jam.”
Sinteis Part IV is presented in bespoke packaging featuring a hand-drawn motif inspired by Mongolian oak and united by an endless knot, based on the geometric ornamentation found throughout traditional East Asian art as well as the enduring relationship between wood, whisky and time.
The GlenAllachie Sinteis Part IV carries a recommended retail price of £75.99 and is available now at the distillery’s visitor centre and its online shop. It will become available worldwide in the coming weeks.
