Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
The first batch of The Glenallachie’s 10-year-old cask strength single malt sold out so quickly in 2018 that this batch was rushed out late in the year. As with that original release, this one comes from whisky first matured in first-fill Bourbon casks, along with virgin oak, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez puncheons, but is bottled at a slightly lower strength than the original.
The nose has notes of honey, butterscotch, toasted coconut, dried fruits, and a hint of apricots. The taste is thick, oily, and peppery with clove, black pepper, and a touch of cinnamon balanced by honey and butterscotch. The finish is long and dry with lingering spices. (January, 2019)
