GlenAllachie 10 Years Ruby Port Cask Finish Batch 2 [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that showcases the beautiful marriage between Scottish craftsmanship and Portuguese port influence?

Master Distiller Billy Walker has crafted something truly exceptional with GlenAllachie 10 Years Ruby Port Cask Finish Batch 2. This limited edition from the Wood Collection demonstrates the distillery’s mastery of cask finishing techniques, taking their signature honeyed Speyside character and enhancing it with vibrant ruby port casks from Portugal’s renowned Douro Valley.
