The Glenallachie 7 Year Old Hungarian Virgin Oak, Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited edition whisky. From Batch 3 of the Virgin Oak Series, this innovative single malt has 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 Zemplén 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.
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.
700ml at 48% alc./vol. non chill-filtration or natural colour.
