Billy Walker's Sherry-Cask Speyside
When Billy Walker took over GlenAllachie in 2017, he set about recasking its maturing stock into the sherry wood he is famous for, and the 15 Year Old — added to the core range in 2019 — is the boldest statement of that programme: a full 15 years shaped predominantly by PX and Oloroso sherry puncheons and hogsheads at the distillery in Aberlour, at the foot of Ben Rinnes. Compare it across our Scotch whisky shelves, or see the range on the GlenAllachie vendor page.
