GlenAllachie 12 Year Old
GlenAllachie 12 Year Old is a bold, expressive, and richly sherried Speyside single malt that has become something of a cult favourite among whisky lovers since its debut in 2018. Aged in a combination of dry Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry casks alongside new American oak barrels, it is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and without added colouring, delivering a whisky of genuine depth, complexity, and character. Category Winner at the World Whiskies Awards 2024. Why You'll Love It The GlenAllachie 12 is one of the most talked-about Speyside single malts of recent years, and for good reason. The combination of dry Oloroso, sweet PX sherry casks, and new American oak produces a profile of extraordinary richness and layered complexity, with fruit preserves, Christmas cake, treacle toffee, dark chocolate truffles, and savoury touches of imperial stout and dried mushrooms all present in a whisky that is simultaneously bold and beautifully balanced. Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour, every nuance of the cask maturation is preserved exactly as intended. If you love a big, rich Speyside, this is essential. Distillery & Maturation GlenAllachie distillery sits in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. The 12 Year Old is matured in a combination of three cask types: dry Oloroso sherry casks, sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, and new American oak barrels, each contributing a distinct layer of character to the final whisky. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration and without added colouring, preserving the full richness and complexity of the maturation. Tasting Notes The nose is bold and expressive, with notes of fruit preserves, Christmas cake, treacle toffee, and dark chocolate truffles, with savoury touches of imperial stout and dried mushrooms. From the producer: butterscotch and honey lead the nose, with raisins and mocha in the background. On the palate, honey, marzipan, and bananas, with lashings of butterscotch, raisins, and a delicate hint
Jura 12 Year Old
Jura 12 Year Old is the third of five new single malt whiskies from Jura. The new range ushers in a new era for the distillery and a new style comprised of fruit and subtle smoke. Like the Jura 10 Year Old, this is matured in bourbon casks before being finished in sweet sherry barrels. The whisky is left exposed to the fresh sea air, adding a slightly salty character to this dram. The Jura 12 is a rich and well rounded whisky with subtle smoke and obvious influences from the sherry cask finish. There's chocolate, nuts and tropical fruit on the nose with the palate consisting of coffee, liquorice, salted bananas and brown sugar. The finish contains the subtlest hints of smoke.
