Description
The GlenAllachie 12 Years Old Ruby Port Pipe 2011 55.9% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is a limited edition single cask bottling from the renowned Speyside distillery GlenAllachie, which is known for its innovative cask maturations and intense single malts under the direction of Master Distiller Billy Walker. Distilled on 15 August 2011 and bottled in June 2024, this whisky was allowed to mature for a full 12 years in a selected Ruby Port Pipe. This long maturation gives it its powerful and fruity flavour profile, which clearly sets it apart from classic sherry and bourbon cask maturations.
At a powerful 55.9% vol., it is bottled at natural cask strength, naturally without chill-filtration and without colouring to preserve the authentic character of the cask. This strictly limited edition comprises just 765 bottles, making it a coveted rarity for collectors and connoisseurs. The 0.7 litre bottle is presented in an elegant gift box and is an impressive embodiment of GlenAllachie’s craftsmanship and cask management.
Tasting NoteColour: Deep ruby red with mahogany reflections.
Nose: Intensely fruity, with notes of cherries, raspberries, dark chocolate, honey and oak spice.
Flavour: Full-bodied and complex, with a balance of red berries, sweet malt, caramel, spices and fine oak.

The GlenAllachie 12 Years Old Ruby Port Pipe is best enjoyed neat in a nosing glass, preferably with a drop of water to emphasise the complex fruit notes even more. It is an excellent accompaniment to desserts such as chocolate fondant, fruit cake or crème brûlée. It also harmonises with strong cheeses such as Stilton or Manchego. For special moments of pleasure, it is also the perfect accompaniment to a fine cigar, which elegantly emphasises its intense fruitiness and spiciness.
