THE Glen Allachie has launched the second edition of its Sinteis Series, which focuses on dual maturation.

Sinteis Series combines virgin oak and traditional sherry casks. Named after the Scottish Gaelic word for synthesis, it was created by industry veteran and master distiller of The GlenAllachie, Billy Walker.

Explaining the background to the Speyside distillery's newest release, he said: "The Sinteis Series is a celebration of creativity at the very heart of whisky making, a chance to explore how different casks, when thoughtfully combined, can create something truly remarkable."

Billy went on: "With Part II, I was inspired to shine a light on the character of Scottish virgin oak - a rare and distinctive choice in maturation.

"By pairing its bold personality with the familiar depth of Oloroso sherry casks, I wanted to craft a whisky that feels both adventurous and reassuringly timeless.
