Whispering Waters Glenallachie 2014 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare gem born from the heart of Speyside, distilled at the revered GlenAllachie distillery and aged for a decade in a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. With only 247 bottles drawn from this singular cask, it represents the distillery’s commitment to small-batch excellence and rich, cask-forward character. The high proof of 62.1% ABV amplifies its robust depth while showcasing the bold style that has come to define GlenAllachie under Billy Walker’s stewardship.
The whisky opens with a nose that’s lush and layered—dried figs, toasted almonds, and dark chocolate are delicately framed by notes of cinnamon and bright orange zest. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied richness, unveiling stewed plums, black cherries, and nutmeg wrapped in hints of espresso and molasses. Its Oloroso sherry influence is unmistakable, giving the spirit a luxurious texture and deeply integrated sweetness balanced by gentle spice.
Best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its complexity and warmth, Whispering Waters is a dram for the discerning. Whether sipped slowly by the fire or reserved for celebratory moments, its long, sherried finish with traces of oak, spice, and sweet tobacco makes a lasting impression. A limited release that speaks volumes, this is Speyside craftsmanship at its finest.
