For centuries the stormy waters of the Atlantic Ocean has not only shaped the character of the people of Islay but also the character of their famous whiskies. In many ways this fine malt mirrors the character of Islay people – strong yet gentle, warm yet mellow, but with a maturity beyond its years. Robust peaty, with that unmistakable breath of the seashore.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Earthu, smokey peat and salty ocean breeze
PALATE
Pungent peat smoke and chewy sweet malt. Pepper, tar and a touch of iodin.

GlenAllachie 12 year old, is the heart of our range, a landmark bottling. Our best casks selected and bottled under the careful eye of our Master Distiller Billy Walker.
The Kurayoshi Pure Malt is aged for over 3 years in oak casks. It has a soft and refreshing fragrance of malted barley complimented by sweet and tart notes of rum raisins, malt and vanilla. The light finish is a reminder of Tottori’s pure spring water used during distillation.
This time, it is in Jamaica that the brand invites us: to the discovery of a very old VSOP rum, to be precise. This creation of the Worthy Park distillery spent four years in Bourbon barrels, then was transported to the Cognac region for an additional six months of maturation in the brand's cellars in Chevanceaux. This cuvée has thus benefited from a double ageing in a tropical and continental climate.
