WHICH DISTILLERY?
Glenallachie is a multi-award winning Speyside distillery and is renowned for silky smooth, fruity single malts and more latterly, usage of exceptional casks for maturation. This beautiful distillery sits just outside of town of Aberlour nestled among steep sided hills. The water source runs from the nearby Corbett mountain- Ben Rinnes- a hillside desolate (geddit?).
Fermentation and distillation are long and drawn out processes to extract the best of flavour from the barley. Quality over quantity is the Glenallachie way.
