Always the innovator, Master Distiller Billy Walker’s search for the unusual led him to the mountains of northeast Hungary to the Zemplén forest. The region’s rocky volcanic soil, along with its colder climate and higher altitude result in oak with a tight grain—perfect for aging whisky. One of the world’s first single malts finished in new Hungarian oak, expect an aromatic, well-balanced, and wonderfully unique whisky with the signature rich, fruit-forward characteristics of GlenAllachie malt.
