GlenAllachie Single Premier Cru Classe Cask, Cask 1048 exclusive for Germany

The almighty GlenAllachie has a super cask strength special editions, the ones with the grey label, that are specially made for some retailers or countries. I got my hands on a 60.9%abv one, from a single "Premier Cru Classe" Cask, vintage 2009, Cask 1048, 10yo, exclusive for Germany. Bottle 261 of only 304. Quite a rarity. I was very impressed of this peach-like color that this very exclusive cask has delivered to the spirit. On the nose, it is a fruitcake.Oranges, hay, sawdust. Orange caramel and Mint. It is like a fruitcake old books, cotton candy. On the palate, it is an orange jam. Marmalade, cereal. Orange caramel. Cotton and pepper. It has a Fruit salad finish. Powerful astringent aftertaste. Very potent, dry and winey. Overall, this is quite a beautiful whisky, that is so well made that you don't feel any alcohol whatsoever despite the 60.9%abv. This is another proof that GlenAllachie is doing things in a great way. An amazing and very rare dram, my score for it is 92 over 100.
