GlenAllachie 2010 Chinquapin Oak Finish Single Cask #4952

GlenAllachie 2010 Chinquapin Oak Finish Single Cask #4952

Single Cask | Virgin Oak Series | Cask Strength | Non-Chill Filtered

This ain’t your average Speysider. This is a 2010 vintage whisky finished in Chinquapin virgin oak, an American oak species (Quercus muehlenbergii, if you’re feeling nerdy) known for its punchy, spicy influence—and this cask delivers in spades.

Hand-selected by Billy Walker and bottled at natural cask strength, this dram is all about intensity, structure, and rich oak-driven complexity. From vanilla-laced fruit to toasty spice and buttery oak, this is GlenAllachie showing off its experimental side—and sticking the landing.

Why This One’s Worth Your Shelf Space

Chinquapin Oak isn’t something you see every day—and GlenAllachie makes it sing. This isn’t just a whisky, it’s a conversation piece. From its distinctive wood character to its full-strength bottling, it’s the kind of dram that rewards slow sipping, geeky analysis, and quiet appreciation.

If you like your whisky bold, spicy, and oak-driven (without losing that juicy Speyside core), this is a bottle you’ll remember.
