The GlenAllachie launched a celebratory limited edition single malt to mark Lunar New Year 2025: an 11-year-old Pedro Ximénez, Oloroso & Virgin Oak Cask Finish, bottled at 48%.
 |
| Glenallachie is an award-winning independent company led by Scotch whisky stalwart Billy Walker, a qualified chemist and distinguished cask innovator. |
The special release single malt was matured in premium Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso Sherry casks from Spain, as well as toasted and charred virgin oak barrels.
This
release is the first of its kind to feature a fully bespoke carton with
a hand-drawn illustration with gold foil and embossed detail. A
collectable 3D gold-coloured snake charm sits around the neck of the
bottle, whilst the packaging’s green colour corresponds to the wood
element specific to this new year.

Nose: Orange peel, rich chocolate and caramelised ginger, with bursts of honeysuckle, buttercream and brandied dark cherries.
