The GlenAllachie – 10 Year Old Chinquapin Virgin Oak Cask (48%)

This is a 10 year old single malt from Batch 2 of The GlenAllachie's Virgin Oak Series, bottled at 48%. It is natural colour and non-chill-filtered. The whisky was first matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels, then spent about 18 months in casks made of Chinquapin oak from the northern Ozark region of Missouri. The wood was air dried for almost four years and toasted to a medium level before it was filled. It is described as a zesty malt with runny honey, sweet cinnamon and orange peel.
