The GlenAllachie 13 Year Old: Sauternes Barrique

Famed for sourcing casks from niche producers, master blender Billy Walker acquired this particular Sauternes Barrique (2009 #3712) from a winery in South-West France. A single French oak cask which previously held Sauternes, a dessert wine which originates from Bordeaux.

As well as bestowing a golden glow to the spirit, this cask has imparted elegant flavours of stone fruit and sweet spices upon the classic honeyed GlenAllachie spirit.
