GlenAllachie 10 Year Rye Wood Finish

Nose: crisp apple, dark chocolate, cinnamon, light clove, fresh grass, dark fruits, caramel, green tea. Taste: apple and fruits move into baking spices and end in oily chocolate and coffee notes. A fantastic whiskey especially on the nose, it drinks a bit hot for under 100 proof and the palate isn't as interesting as the nose, while still good, I wish more came through as the nose is delightful. Excited to try many more offerings from this rising star.

Nose: Sweet vanilla, pears, green apples, orange zest, cinnamon and hints of oaks. Palate: Sweet honey, vanilla, citris, cinnamon, rye and oak spices. Finish is medium with sweet vanilla, oak, rye spice, malts and mild tobacco. Final Thoughts: Good dram. Bright, a bit young but balanced and enjoyable.

The nose has notes of syrup and caramel with just the slightest bit of cinnamon. The palette is sweet, but not as much as the palette, with a good deal of spiciness. A smooth, warm finish leaves charred notes lingering.

Aromas are caramel, tobacco, pears, floral and spice. Flavors are similar to nose, sweet with floral coming out more and some rye whiskey in there too. Short lived throat burn at the end. Pretty good but not great.

Nose: vanilla, pound cake, lemon merengue, rye, green apple and pine. On the palate light but complex with a bit of richness; rye, vanilla, pepper, cocoa, apples and cinnamon and pears. Interesting for sure.

Very pleasant smell, a bit like salted caramel and toasted grains. Taste has interesting bitter/sweet dynamic with some spice in the finish.
