GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Port Finish

This item is archived.

This GlenAllachie was finished in Ruby Port Pipes before bottling at 48%.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: Caramilk Bar, orange marzipan and chewy malt; creamed honey and French vanilla; floral and elegant.

Palate: rich, malty and very chocolate-y; soft leather, gentle earthy tones and subtle toasted oak; more creamed honey, orange marzipan and elegant French vanilla.

Finish: on the medium-short side, with an earthy wine-y tone; drying, fruity and spicy.

Comment: Billy Walker is something of a cask wizard, I’m a self-professed wine and port cask skeptic, but this is well done; a deft touch!

Producer Description: “This gorgeous ruby red malt has been matured for over eight years in American Oak Barrels. It was then re-racked into vintage, premium Ruby Port Wood Pipes which developed the flavour depth and complexity, adding vibrant fruit flavours. Regular monitoring ensures we achieve the perfect balance between wood and spirit influence whilst preserving the whisky characteristics. Bottled at 48%, unchilfiltered and natural colour.â€Â

Producer Tasting Note

Nose: Waves of heather honey and sweet spice, laced with rose hip and dark chocolate.

Taste: A flood of heather honey, butterscotch and treacle, with damson, rose hip and dark chocolate.
