GlenAllachie
An intriguing twist on a Speysider here, this GlenAllachie has been finished in rye casks! Initially the single malt was matured in American oak barrels before being transferred to casks which previously held rye whiskey from Kentucky for a finishing period. Eventually it was bottled at nine years old at 48% ABV, full of sufficiently spicy notes from the cask finish.
Far smoother than you would expect from a 9 year old. Hits every tingle sensor on your tongue and is probably the most viscous malt to pass my lips in half a century. Don't get any spice at all, slight honeyness (not as much as Glengoyne 12) but it clings to your mouth for an eternity. Minutes after you swallow a green apple hits from nowhere!! Dangerously drinkable. Drops half a point for not being a bit more complex flavour wise at this price point.
The rye really comes through and adds gorgeous spice to the sweet Speyside goodness
I was a Gken Dronach man and Have just really started on the Glenallechie . This is another delight. Warm it up slightly and have It with a wee bit of Scottish tablet or fudge . Incredible
Billy walker knows his wood and this is no exception - perfectly balanced and sweet. A real delight
