Description
GlenAllachie from the distillery, a 10 year old, cask Batch 4, at 56.1%, 15600 bottles in all. GlenAllachie is a rich, sherried Speyside malt from Aberlour, built on full bodied spirit and active casks. It matures its spirit in sixteen dunnage warehouses on the distillery site at Aberlour. Its stills were doubled from two to four within months of opening, the lyne arms angled down for a fuller spirit.
The spirit was run slowly off the spirit still, giving a full bodied Speyside spirit. It was matured in a Pedro Ximenez cask, the wood working deep into the malt. By the integrating teens the raw notes fade and esters build, the rich spirit growing rounder and darker. Active first fill wood drives the maturation, the cask deep in the malt. Vanillin and oak lactones from the wood lend vanilla and a soft coconut over the fruit. The wood frames the spirit without ever stripping the full Speyside body.
At 56.1%, undiluted, it is dark and full. Orange, raisin and a treacle edge, with raisin, date and treacle from the cask. Dried fruit and a treacle sit behind the spice. It finishes long, full and fruity. This is a rich, sherried Speyside single malt.
