GlenAllachie Fino Cask Finish 9 Year Old

Description

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

Known for its pale appearance and delicate flavour profile, Fino is the driest style of Sherry. It must be biologically aged for at least two years under a ‘flor’: a yeast layer which prevents oxidation.
Maturation in former Fino hogshead casks has resulted in a single malt bursting with stewed pear, sugared almonds and vanilla custard tones.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Nutmeg, heather honey and vanilla extract, with butterscotch, green apple peel, stone fruits and roasted almonds.
Palate: Dried apricots, honeycomb and butterscotch, followed by baking spices, marzipan and caramel, with orchard fruits and citrus on the finish.
