GlenAllachie

This eighth batch of GlenAllachie Cask Strength is composed of ex-Pedro Xim?nez and ex-Oloroso Sherry puncheons as well as a small amount of ex-Virgin Oak and ex-Rioja barrels. Its flavor profile is abundant with sweet spices, zesty orange and alluring mocha. A nutty and chewy quality can be found on the palate, with molasses and honeycomb joined by chocolate and ginger tones. A burst of nutmeg and peppery oak surrounds the finish. A cracking dram from GlenAllachie that proves to be one of our most popular cask-strength expressions of the year.

Bursting with the richness and heavy, fruity quality of exquisite sherry casks, the latest GlenAllachie cask strength series has arrived on the shelves. Like a bowl of boozy dried fruits soaked in whisky, the aroma is a powerful and dense to start, opening with a softer quality of heather honey, orchard fruit and gingersnaps. The flavour of bittersweet dark chocolate and demerara sugar builds on the palate, with toffee, spices and tangy plum remaining for a long time in the finish.

A new addition to the 'Discovery' range from Gordon & MacPhail, this expression comes entirely from American oak casks from the GlenAllachie distillery in Speyside, Scotland. This wood profile is typified by creamy custard, fruity notes of apple and banana, and a flavour of blossom honey. A great example of this traditional style, and a distillery that is very rarely seen independently bottled like this.

This release from GlenAllachie's 'Virgin Oak Series' was initially matured in ex-American oak (Quercus Alba) casks before spending approximately 18 months in Chinquapin (Quercus Muehlenbergii) oak casks, specially selected from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. The nose bursts with aromas of orange zest, heather honey and pecan, with butterscotch and nutmeg following. To taste, lashings of cinnamon, barley sugar and toasted biscuits, followed by rose hips, orange peel and heather honey.
