A rich and full sherried malt. Nicely spiced and plenty of fruit balanced by good wood. Smooth (but not too smooth) with 46% ABV. Lingering finish. I think I may actually prefer it to the 12 year. Excellent for the price.

Description

Boasting heaps of rich sherried character in true GlenAllachie style, this exquisite eight year old single malt joined the distillery's core range in 2022. Under the expertise of master distiller Billy Walker, an innovative selection of the finest casks including Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, virgin oak casks, and red wine barriques combine to create an impressively fruit-rich sipper.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Spiced fruit loaf with sweet cinnamon, a smidge of ginger, and juicy raisins. A touch of nutty malt balances floral honey.

Palate

Rich, dark muscovado sugar, more dried fruits with sultanas, and dates dusted with fragrant baking spice.

Finish

Maple syrup, roasted almonds, a touch of menthol rests beneath, with earthy coffee and cocoa.
