The Original’ is our classic Single Malt that truly champions our peated pursuit. Made with mainland peat from St. Fergus, the flavor contribution is sweeter than that anticipated of coastal peat. With an extended fermentation time of 160 hours, nearly triple the industry average, the whisky boasts flavor-rich, complex character. Aged in a combination of first-fill Bourbon barrels, American Virgin Oak casks and Rye barrels, the spirit clocks in at 35 PPM.

Guided by revered Master Distiller, Billy Walker, our team is on a ‘Meikle Tòir’ (meaning ‘big pursuit’). The goal: To carefully craft and cask-perfect a peerless peated single malt at our Speyside home, The GlenAllachie Distillery.
Being independent allows for complete freedom to make decisions for all the right reasons, and to firmly place the focus on quality over quantity. In 2018, we began producing peated spirit – a much rarer style for the Speyside region – for several weeks each year. We only produce around 100,000 litres of new-make annually to create our premium small-batch releases.
