Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich peat, vanilla, dark fruit. The chinquapin oak adds a distinctive sweetness to the heavy peat — nuttier and spicier than standard American oak. Beneath the smoke, honey, dried cherry and a gentle warmth. Unusual and compelling.

Palate

Heavily peated and richly oaked — smoke, chinquapin sweetness, dark fruit. The rare oak variety adds a flavour dimension beyond standard bourbon or sherry maturation. Mid-palate brings roasted nut, dark chocolate and a robust warmth. At 50%, excellent body.

Finish

Long, with peat smoke and chinquapin sweetness sustaining together.

Expert Review

Billy Walker's peated Speyside — GlenAllachie's heavily peated spirit in American chinquapin oak casks.
