We currently have bottles of GlenAllachie 10 Year Cask Strength Batch 1 on the shelves, which is bottled at 57.1%. As this mini bottle is 54.8% ABV, it must be from a different batch. It does not have a batch number on the mini bottle, but Batch 2 was bottled at 54.8% ABV, so we will assume the mini is of Batch 2 as well.
Both batches have been created from a combination of carefully selected ex-Bourbon, virgin oak, Oloroso Puncheon and PX Sherry Puncheon Casks containing whisky at least ten years of age then bottled at cask strength.
Evan's Tasting Note
Nose: big cereal and grain, newly sanded lumber, peaches and cream, pickled ginger, sliced pears, sesame seeds, cake fondant and white chocolate.
Palate: juicy and creamy with lots of fruit and big spice notes at the front along with beer nuts, cashews, toasty and also green oak, honeydew melon, pineapples, sweet Thai chili sauce and spicy ginger.
Finish: spicy but sweet with a nutty note thrown in. It creates a warming sensation with a pleasant creaminess on the fade.
Comment: the spice is big but the sweetness and helps tame it. It tingles the tongue but stays deliciously approachable.
