Glenallachie 1978 Single Cask #10296 50cl / 50th Anniversary

Glenallachie distillery was built by Mackinlays in 1967 to meet the demands of its blends following an upturn in sales in the US. In its short history it has passed through the hands of Invergordon Distillers and Pernod-Ricard. During this period the focus was always on the provision of blends, with over 20 years between the first Mackinlay’s distillery bottlings of its single malt and the next official release from Chivas Brothers in 2005. Now in the hands of Billy Walker, Glenallachie is finally being pushed as an increasingly popular single malt brand since 2017.

This bottle is one of the 50th Anniversary single cask releases, the fist batch of bottlings produced when Billy Walker took over.

Distilled in 1978 and aged in single cask #10296 before bottling in February 2018, this is one of 340 bottles.
