Glenallachie 10y/o Chinquapin Virgin Oak 48%ABV 30ml

A limited edition Glenallachie from Batch 2 of our Virgin Oak Series, this exceptional malt was first matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing additional maturation in casks made of Chinquapin Oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii), which is sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri for approximately 18 months. The casks were air dried for almost four years, then toasted to medium level before hosting the spirit.

The result is a complex, zesty malt bursting with runny honey, sweet cinnamon and orange peel.
