This latest release comes from 'The Wood Collection' series from Billy Walker and his team at GlenAllachie distillery. Aged for 9 years in total and given some extra time maturing in casks that previously held well-aged Amontillado Sherry. Bottled at a generous 48% vol, natural colour and non-chill filtered.
Amontillado Sherry starts its life as a Fino then undergoes an additional maturation period without a 'flor' layer and when at this stage of oxidative ageing it develops a richer colour and more robust characteristics.
