The Faith in the Cask, GlenAllachie

writing about glenallachie is by no means an easy task for me. as a devout lover of islay whiskies, i have always felt somewhat lacking in an emotional connection with the 'good boys' of speyside. moreover, glenallachie is a relatively young distillery by scottish standards, having been built in 1967. compared to many century-old distilleries, information here is relatively transparent, modern, and clear. it lacks those dramatic, soap-opera-like feuds and historical rivalries between brother distilleries, missing perhaps a touch of theatrical intrigue.

glenallachie is, quite simply, might be just a distillery.
