About this bottle

Billy Walker has embarked on a new venture to re-establish GlenAllachie, a Speyside distillery, as a prominent single malt scotch producer following his sale of The BenRiach Company to Brown-Forman. This 1989 vintage, aged for 28 years, is part of a collection of six whiskies released to commemorate the distillery's 50th anniversary. These six bottlings also mark the inaugural official releases under new ownership, each being a single cask and bottled at cask strength. The 50th Anniversary Bottlings, released in April 2018, sold out rapidly.

Why there's no score

We have 7 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
