The folks at GlenAllachie (including the legendary Billy Walker) have gone and made a blended Scotch whisky! White Heather 21 Year Old is made with whiskies from Speyside, the Highlands and Islay, aged in first-fill American barrels, sherry butts, and second-fill barrels and hogsheads. The blend also enjoyed three years of additional maturation in Pedro Ximénez puncheons, Oloroso puncheons, and Appalachian virgin oak casks. The name comes from a blended whisky brand that was discontinued back in the 1980s, which was acquired by The GlenAllachie Distillers Company in 2017.
Softly peaty, with layers of butterscotch, herbaceous oak, and heather.
More butterscotch, now paired with fruit-forward notes of orange and apple. A touch of earthy spice in the background.
Smoky wisps stick around a good while.
Very good blend - would've expected no different from Billy Walker.
