Glenallachie "Whisky Galore's 21st Anniversary'' 2009/14 YO 57.9% 700ml
The team at Whisky Galore are proud to bring you this exclusive release, bottled to celebrate the 21st anniversary of their shop. Distilled on the 18th of March 2009, this GlenAllachie was matured for 14 years in a single ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry Hogshead.
COLOUR:
The intense mahogany hue of this dram offers a tempting glimpse of what's to come.
NOSE:
A rich aroma of candified figs and treacle are joined by a signature note of heather honey, with the scent of freshly opened packets of cinnamon and ginger.
TASTE:
A sumptous and rich palate, like a classic Scottish eccelefechan tart (a nutty, treacle tart) served with a medley of dark maraschino cherries, tart plum jam and a kick of mandarin and honeycomb.
FINISH:
The flavours are dense and concentrated, carrying a long and lingering trail of rich wood and spice.
