Here we have a splendid ten year old single malt from GlenAllachie! Distilled in 2011, this whisky was allowed to mature in oak casks, before a final nine months finishing in a smaller octave cask. This process was carried out by the clever gang at Duncan Taylor, who then cracked the cask open in 2021, releasing a total of 80 bottles for The Octave collection.
