Tasting Notes

This 13-year-old GlenAllachie whisky is a delightful treat for the senses. Matured for 11 years in a Sherry butt, it develops rich tannins and a sweet red berry aroma, complemented by dark chocolate and floral notes. The palate is creamy with vanilla and baking spices, intertwined with hints of mocha, caramel, and dried fruit. The finish is long and indulgent, with lingering dark fruit and spices. Bottled at a robust 62.4% ABV without filtration or added coloring, this whisky offers a true and authentic experience. Murray McDavid's innovative cask finish in Murça Tawny Port barriques adds depth and complexity, making this a unique and memorable expression of GlenAllachie's craftsmanship.
