Description
From The GlenAllachie’s limited edition Sherry Cask Series, bottled as a part of their Wood Collection, this nine-year-old single malt has been initially aged in American oak bourbon barrels, before being treated to a finish in expertly selected Fino sherry casks. The driest style of Sherry, Fino is notable for its pale appearance. Bottled at 48% abv, the whisky is free from chill filtration and at natural colour.
The nose opens with aromas of nutmeg, heather honey and vanilla extract which develop into butterscotch, green apple, stone fruits and roasted almonds. On the palate, lashings of dried apricots, honeycomb and butterscotch mellow into touches of baking spices, marzipan and caramel. Touches of orchard fruits and citrus reveal themselves in the especially satisfying finish.
