Glenallachie
Glenallachie 10 Year Old (Batch 7) Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Aged in a combination of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, Rioja barriques and virgin oak casks. Each cask was personally selected and blended by Master Distiller Billy Walker.

A statement from Glenallachie noted that Walker, who this year celebrates a half-century as a blender in the Scotch whisky industry, is recognized for his hands-on approach and innovative maturation philosophy. Each release of the decade-old expression reflects his expertise in wood management.

The distiller's notes for Batch 7 show that it clocks in at 56.8% ABV, without added coloring or chill filtration, and the cask strength spirit has notes of rich mocha, stewed plums, runny honey and cinnamon.

Nose: Creamy, fudge and nougat with a touch of mocha. After a while come the expected notes of sultanas, raisins and balsamic, but also a whiff of cranberry juice, bright orange zest and dried apricots. The virgin oak seems a little less present than in the previous few batches.
Taste: Somewhat sweet arrival with figs, but the oak (virgin, but maybe European too?) is much more present now. Spices galore with cracked black peppercorns, cloves and nutmeg. Also tobacco leaves, coffee grounds and a touch of mints. Fairly tannic too.
Finish: Lingering spices, fennel and dark chocolate.
