GlenAllachie 12 Year Old French Oak Finish
In late 2020, GlenAllachie released a trio of whiskies, each one having been finished in virgin oak casks - the range was (descriptively) called the Virgin Oak Series! This particular expression was matured for 12 years, including a finishing period in French oak casks, made with wood from the Haute-Garonne region. Said wood was air dried for 15 months before being filled with GlenAllachie's excellent whisky.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Buttery at first, with layers of orange oil, mocha and heather honey.
Palate
A slow build of toasted oak, tangy citrus, toffee and cinnamon. A hint of earthy barley comes through later on.
Finish
Earthy coffee bean balanced by sweet orchard fruit.
