GlenAllachie White Heather 15 YO Blended Scotch Whisky - April 2022 Release
GOLD MEDAL AT INTERNATIONAL WINE & SPIRIT COMPETITION (IWSC) 2022
Fifty years ago, GlenAllachie Master Distiller, Billy Walker, began his whisky journey
as a blender. he joined a team creating Iconic Blended Scotch Whiskies to be enjoyed
across the globe. In 2021, Billy honoured his roots in the industry with the relaunch of White Heather Blended Scotch Whisky, and is now proudly showcasing his latest creation; a limited release 15 year old.
He sourced the finest single Malt and Grain whiskies from across the Highlands, Islay and Speyside to craft a recipe with a particularly high single malt content. Using a combination of premium American and Spanish oak casks, the blend was laid
to rest for an additional 3 years for the flavours to marry and the wood to impart
additional depth and complexity.
As described by the IWSC judges, “Here we are drawn in with an exuberant, floral nose presenting delicate notes of ripe lemon and fine-grained oak. The palate is complex and perfumed and reveals a wonderful ashy smoke quality and delicious malted cereal flavours. Outstanding!"
Non chill-filtered and natural colour.

Billy Walker's Blending Technique
The “Billy four step” is a complex (and expensive) blending technique but it delivers every time.
1. Sourcing exceptional malt and grain whiskies from across Scotland to create the required flavour profile.
2. Initial blending so that the subtle nuances of each individual whisky combine and enhance the blend, never competing, never overpowering.
3. Then filled to selected casks, in specific quantities, which are laid to rest in their warehouses to let the flavours marry.
4. Monitoring the journey and development of each cask over the years before ultimately selecting the individual puncheons and barrels for the final blending and bottling at 46%, non chill-filtered and natural colour.
