GlenAllachie Oloroso Cask Finish 9 Year Old

Description

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

Subjected to extensive ageing without a ‘flor’ yeast layer, Oloroso, which roughly translates to ‘fragrant’, is the darkest dry Sherry style renowned for its pronounced nutty, dried fruit qualities.
Maturation in rich Oloroso butts has delivered bold layers of coffee beans, sticky raisins, stem ginger and figs that all work in tandem with The GlenAllachie’s honey-rich house style.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Heather honey, mocha and dried apricots, with notes of cinnamon butter, red velvet cake and marzipan.
Palate: Dark chocolate, honeycomb and butterscotch, leading to dried red berries, ginger and damsons, with poached apples and muscovado sugar.
