Product description
The Virgin Oak Series debuted in October 2020 with three editions of GlenAllachie whiskies finished in virgin barrels made from different types of oak – French, Spanish and Chinquapin – with the whiskies spending their primary maturation period in American oak barrels.
Commenting on the new series, Billy Walker stated that his goal was to show the differences in the aromatic and flavor palettes resulting from the origin of the oak, the length of drying of the staves and the level of roasting and charring of the barrels. The 7-year-old presented here was part of the third series released in spring 2023. The whisky was finished in Hungarian oak (Quercus Petraea) barrels from the Zemplén forests, which stretch near the Tokaji region. (Note by Billy Walker.)
