GlenAllachie Amontillado Cask Finish 9 Year Old

Description

Brand: Glenallachie
Category: Whisky
Type: Single Malt
Region: Scotland – Speyside
Strength: 48% alc/vol

Beginning its life as a Fino, Amontillado Sherry undergoes an additional maturation period without a ‘flor’ layer. This stage of oxidative ageing develops a richer colour and more robust characteristics.
Using hogsheads that previously held this well-aged style of Sherry, the subsequent single malt brims with dark cherries, toasted hazelnuts and caramel sauce.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Soft orchard fruits, cinnamon and heather honey, with butterscotch, hazelnuts and dark tobacco.
Palate: Honeycomb, maraschino cherries and dried apricots, followed by poached pears, blood orange, mixed nuts and cinnamon.
