Glenallachie 10 Year Old Port Wood Finish
Speyside honey meets ruby Port
GlenAllachie's honeyed, buttery spirit is a natural partner for Port wood. After its time in American oak, this 10 Year Old is re-racked into vintage ruby Port pipes, which add colour, red-fruit sweetness and a soft, juicy depth. It is a fruity and approachable malt that still has plenty of body at 48%.
