12-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from GlenAllachie, originally launched in mid-2018 following Billy Walker taking the reins of the distillery in 2017, and given a shiny redesign in 2024. This is the flagship expression from the Speyside-based distillery and features whisky matured in Pedro Ximénez, oloroso and virgin oak casks, resulting in a huge flavour profile of fruit, oak and vanilla.
Fried banana, almond, cola cubes, freshly cut oak.
Stem ginger and sultana, oily barley and buttery vanilla.
Very slightly chocolatey on the finish.
OVER PRICED
Just sampled the wee dram of this lovely malt, as part of the advent calendar. As a lover more of the Islay and Island malts, I am often less-enthused by many Speyside offerings. Not this one, though. Luscious, smooth, delicious. May be my favourite Speyside malt so far at this price point. Going on the list for buying a full bottle next order.
Complex flavours which are delightful. Good description of what to expect so no surprises. A good buy I would say ...
Full of beautiful sherried sweetness. Incredible dram.
It has a perfect combination of color, flavor and the right strength of alcohol
