GlenAllachie 10 Year Cask Strength Batch 6

Nose: Red Berries, the faintest bit of a smoke (not peat), raisins, and spice. Palate: Dark cherry, chocolate. Ah, there’s what I was smelling: cinnamon apple. Reminiscent of big red gum. Toffee, dark honey, cardamom, allspice/pimento berries, orange zest. Finish: Primarily spice that lingers with a beautiful leather & dark chocolate after taste. Overall: This thing drinks like it’s 51-52 percent, not 57. It’s a joy & so well-balanced and yet incredibly nuanced. It’s a hell of a dram for the price point ($94). The new Batch 7 is on the shelves already, but a few liquor stores near me still have Batch 6. While I’m tempted to try the 7, this was so lovely that I’m going to risk it and pick up another few bottles of the 6 before it’s gone for good.

Very good Nose: Raisins, Dates, Sultanas, Milk Chocolate, Honey, Pineapples, Plums, Hazlenuts, Blood Oranges, Chili Peppers, White Chocolate, Coconuts, Watermelons, Licorice, Nutmeg, Cinnamon Palate: Toffee, Guava, Strawberries, Raisins, Dates, Blackberries, Plums, Nutmeg, Treacle, Luxardo Cherries, Papayas Finish: Dates, Sultanas, Raisins, Vanilla, Walnuts, Almonds, Coconuts, Blackberries, Licorice, Strawberries, Prunes, Mocha

The first thing you notice is the glorious colour - deep gold and bronze. The nose is all fruit cake and treacle, and is pleasant enough but doesn’t prepare you for the intensity of the arrival - summer fruits, spearmint with a hint of banana and wood spice. Almonds. The finish is long and dry, with dried fruit and a returning and lingering sweetness.

Tout d’abord la robe est très foncé et doré. Le nez est très généreux fruité et chocolaté. En bouche ça se poursuit mais se qui surprend le plus de ce direct de fût c’est la douceur pour un ABV à 57,8. La finale est plutôt courte un peu d’épice de cuir et d’amandes.

3.9 Batch 6 향, 정종향, 꼬릿꼬릿 건포도 , 맛 너티하고 견과류오일 같은 질감히 올로로소 계열에 특화된듯 레드와인 계열 마무리에 있다. 피니쉬 생각보다 매끄럽고 스파이시는 쎄진 않다. 생각보다 많이 적을 노트는 없었습니다. 강하게 팍치고 도수감으로 때려주지만 섬세하고 재밌는 노트는 찾기 힘들었다

Caramel, nutty, sweet honey on the nose Sherry, cinnamon, fruity, slight nut on the palate Oily long finish Similar to Aberlour A’bunadh
