11 Year Old Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky

About

The GlenAllachie unveils a refined 11-year-old single malt that marries the distillery's hallmark heather-honey character with the deeply complex, nutty aromas of rare Palo Cortado casks. Following initial maturation in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, this spirit undergoes secondary maturation in Spanish Palo Cortado casks, creating a remarkably layered flavour profile. Bottled at 48% ABV and non-chill filtered, this expression delivers full sensory intensity. On the nose, expect ripe plums, dark mocha, and warming cinnamon spice, lifted by heather honey and crystallised ginger notes. The palate strikes a beautiful balance between sweetness, spice, and dryness—pronounced dark chocolate and toffee provide structure while the distillery's signature honeyed style subtly anchors the experience. The finish is elegant and dry, with a gentle fade that lingers without overstaying. A whisky crafted for both newcomers and aficionados seeking to explore the nuances of sherry cask influence.
