Distillery : The GlenAllachie - Speyside
Bourbon Barrels
Independent Bottling
By William Cadenhead Limited
Limited Edition
Single Malt
Bottled in 2025
Unchillfiltered, Uncoloured
Totally Unpeated
This distillery is known for often using sherry casks, which is why this bottling immediately caught my attention. It's not often that you get the chance to taste GlenAllachie aged in bourbon casks. The number of bottles available for sale is unknown, but at least it's not chill-filtered, which is something.
Let's Taste It :
It is very fruity, but also floral. Generous vanilla, combined with orchard fruits, white peaches, crisp apples and juicy pears, grapefruit, pineapple and papaya, buttered toast. Shiny wax wood, pollen, pistil, crème brûlée. Melon, kiwi, a few herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is pastry-like, with white grapes, almonds, and vanilla éclairs. Measured spices, ginger, and cinnamon. Fairly long finish, hazelnuts and caramel, robust but not explosive. Shortbread cookies, egg yolk, english custard.
In Short,
Finally, the distillery reveals its true nature, and it's very good. They should make more bottlings like this, generous and fruity, with lots of butter. The price is a little high, but still reasonable. I vote for buying it.
Score : 87
