White Heather 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky
White Heather 21 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is a 96-proof (48% ABV) 21-year-old blend created by Master Blender Billy Walker for The GlenAllachie Distillers Company — a small-batch release of only 2,000 bottles with an unusually high malt content (47%), drawing aged single malts from the Highlands, Speyside, and Islay over a grain foundation. After 18 years in American oak and sherry casks, the blend was married for three more years in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso puncheons plus Appalachian virgin oak casks, then bottled at natural color and non-chill filtered in a 700mL bottle. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Billy Walker's Blend, Fifty Years in the Making
White Heather traces back to a Campbell Distillers blend from the 1950s, discontinued in the 1980s; when Walker acquired GlenAllachie in 2017, the brand came with it, and he recreated it in premium form. "Creating this blend took me back almost 50 years to when I started my career at Hiram Walker," Walker said — the whisky sits proudly alongside even the very best single malts, in his words. Whisky Fun's Serge Valentin called it "one of the best blends around these days," praising the heather honey, butterscotch, and peat reek in perfect balance. A collector's blend that drinks like a connoisseur's daily pour. Explore the White Heather range and browse rare Scotch whisky at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Natural golden-bronze in color. The nose is beautifully soft: heather honey, butterscotch, peat reek, and hints of tannin over mature sherry sweetness. The palate is round and full-bodied — rich heather honey, butterscotch, orange peel, and soft tannins in balance with a wonderful presence of smoke. The finish is long, warm, and lightly tannic, closing with dryness from the virgin oak casks.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a copita or Glencairn, with no water at first — a 21-year-old blend at 48% deserves the full-strength introduction. A collector's bottle for a milestone pour.
