Glenallachie 2008 13 Year Old (Signatory Cask Strength Collection)

(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Whisky Tasting, 25 February 2022). Nose: Caramel, fig rolls, raisin toast, oak, vanilla, sherried fruit, festive spices, pepper and cinnamon. Palate: Sherry! Rich mouthfeel. Sultanas, raisins, honey, maple syrup, dried figs. Nutty, almonds and oak. Dark chocolate. Finish: Medium long finish. Sherry, raisins, cinnamon, oak, cocoa, dark chocolate, dried figs. Malty and oaky on the aftertaste. Cask No: 900371 1 of 598 bottles Ex-Oloroso butt Mouth coating, unctuous and luxurious. This is less a whisky and more a sherry delivery system! Christmas cake, dried fruit, oak. Slightly numbing on the aftertaste. This is a great easy-drinking sherried dram - very dangerous at 62.9%. A total sherry bomb - fab! Came first out of the six drams, with 35% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 87% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This received my vote for favourite.
