Glenallachie 7 Year Old Hungarian Virgin Oak Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

From Batch 3 of our Virgin Oak Series, we are proud to present an innovative single malt which enjoyed secondary aging in Hungarian oak. Master Distiller Billy Walker s search for the unusual led him to the mountains of northeast Hungary to the Zempl n forest. Its rocky volcanic soil, along with its colder climate and higher altitude, means that the trees in this region grow very slowly, giving the oak a tight grain a desirable trait for aging spirit.

Keen to experiment with this rare oak, the barrels were toasted and charred to a medium level before hosting our complex spirit. One of the world s first single malts finished in Hungarian virgin oak (Quercus Petraea), expect an aromatic, well-balanced and wonderfully unique whisky delivering silky smooth richness.

Bottled at 48%, natural colour and non chill filtered.
