Speyside distillery The GlenAllachie has released their 2012 Vintage Cuvée Wine Cask Finish – a combination of Scotch whiskies aged in casks sourced from four European fine wineries.
The GlenAllachie 2012 Vintage Cuvée Wine Cask Finish is a blend of single malts that were initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for 20 months in casks that previously held four varieties of premium European ex-red wines (Languedoc, Recioto Della Valpolicella along with two undisclosed premier cru classés), bottled at 48% alcohol by volume [96 proof] and is said to offer notes of blackcurrant, cherry, coconut, coffee, garden herbs, licorice and raspberry.
The GlenAllachie 2012 Vintage Cuvee Wine Cask Finish is being made available for $65 per bottle.
