GlenAllachie 10 Years Batch 11 Speyside Single Malt Whisky [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that delivers exceptional quality without the premium age statement price tag?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m particularly impressed by the GlenAllachie 10 Years Batch 11 Speyside Single Malt Whisky. This Premium expression showcases Master Distiller Billy Walker’s expertise in cask selection, utilizing a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry hogsheads that create remarkable depth for a 10-year-old malt. While collectors often gravitate toward the GlenAllachie 12 Years expression or the 15 Years variant, Batch 11 offers exceptional value for those discovering this distillery’s signature sherry-forward style.
