19 year old Glenallachie single malt bottled by Signatory from a single cask. Distilled on 17th October 1996 and bottled 3rd December 2015 with an outturn of 267 bottles at 43% abv.
Chantilly cream, barley sugar, quite meaty.
Crushed almonds, citrus, orchard fruit and malty, nuttiness.
Sultana and oak.
Rather closed before a drop of water but opens up beautifully, offering orange, honey, soft orchard fruit, a touch of woody spice and I'm sure I'll discover more, as I go down the bottle. A lovely, smooth, delicate Speyside and a 19 year old single malt for under £40! Blinding! Just noticed it's sold out. Not surprised, frankly.
