The Glenallachie Distillery Edition gives some of the spotlight on its label to the Ben Rinnes mountain. Sitting at the foot of the mountain, Glenallachie uses water that comes from a spring 3,000ft up Ben Rinnes' north-east face.
Caramel-dipped apples and pears, with hints of brown sugar and digestive biscuits.
Oodles of vanilla, with a zesty kick of fresh citrus at the centre.
Fruity esters last long on the finish.
A very sweet but smooth malt with a fiery kick once it leaves the mouth, warm sweet citrusy aftertaste
I managed to pick up a bottle from my local Co-op store at a reduced end of line bargain. I’m now gutted as it has now become my favourite whiskey, smooth with a lovely palate. Not being stocked at my local Co-op. I really hope not?
Like Glenfiddich 15 year old, only better, a fantastic nose, sip it and the flavours open up on your tongue with vanila and butterscotch
I bought my first bottle of this edition about 8 weeks ago from our local Co-op, ,I often buy some very good and fairly expensive malt whiskies, up to the value of £60 ,my friends and I enjoy a wee dram at the tenth hole at our local golf club, and we all agree that this is one of the best,6 bottles so far?????
Just opened a bottle of this as on offer at £20 in my local costcutter.It is a light speysider by all means,reminds me a little of Speyburn 10 but definitely not so mature.Lots of vanilla and slightly oaky with sharp fruits.At best this must be 8 years old if that.Never the less a nice affordable dram for an introduction to magical speyside malt whisky.
