Old Ballantruan 10 Y

TASTING NOTES : To the eye Old gold colour with mahogany highlights, with a beautiful brilliance. To the nose On the nose, this ABÉCASSIS XXO Grande Champagne cognac is very delicate, fine and powerful. It seduces with its freshness and great complexity. The Grande Champagne grape variety is highlighted by elegant woody, vanilla and subtle notes. Dried fruits mingle with the fragrance of dried flowers, jasmine and spring flowers. In the mouth The palate evolves towards cedar wood, a nectar with balsamic accents, pine and sandalwood. A long finish of candied ginger and nutmeg accompanies the bewitching note of the cigar box.

When we received the keys to GlenAllachie our Master Distiller Billy Walker immediately set to work putting his fingerprint on our whisky; Scottish barley, 160 hour fermentation, slow distillation. As a blender for 50 years, the warehouses are where Billy really does comes in to his own. Working across our 16 warehouses with casks dating back to the 1970’s, Billy has selected a limited number of casks to be released as GlenAllachie 18yo. The signature GlenAllachie rich, robust spirit in harmony with the heather and butterscotch notes. The GlenAllachie 18 Year Old is bottled at 46%, non chill filtered and natural colour.

Matured in a unique combination of 1st fill Bourbon and 1st fill Sherry casks for notes of fresh apple, sweet floral grass and hints of chocolate. ‘Vinaya’, a Sanskrit word meaning respect and gratitude, pays homage to the original founders of the distillery who paved the way, as Bladnoch looks forward to an exciting new era of production and innovation.
