GLENALLACHIE 30 Year Old (Batch 4) Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 49.1%

Representing the pinnacle of GlenAllachie Distillery’s wood-management philosophy, the 30 Year Old Batch 4 is an exceptionally limited release created from a small selection of the rarest casks in the distillery’s historic warehouses. Master Distiller Billy Walker hand-picked a combination of long-aged Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, alongside a small number of carefully refined virgin oak barriques, each contributing layers of depth, elegance and complexity. Bottled at natural cask strength, 49.1%, and presented without chill-filtration or added colouring, this remarkable expression delivers the richness, structure and maturity expected of a true Speyside masterpiece three decades in the making.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich and deeply aromatic with dark chocolate, sweet treacle and roasted coffee beans. Notes of blackcurrant compote, dried figs and sticky toffee pudding rise from the glass, complemented by polished oak and warming baking spices.

Palate: Luxurious, full-bodied and impeccably balanced. Waves of cocoa, espresso, molasses and stewed fruits unfold alongside hints of orange peel, nutmeg and cinnamon. The long maturation in sherry wood imparts extraordinary depth, while subtle oak tannins add structure and finesse.

Finish: Exceptionally long and indulgent. Lingering notes of dark berries, rich chocolate, warm spice and honeyed malt remain, with gentle oak and dried fruit sweetness carrying through to a beautifully satisfying conclusion.
