The GlenAllachie 11 Years Old Px Wood Finish

It is no surprise that this distillery is winning all the awards lately, and that is because Billy Walker is managing as the master distiller. This special edition was bottled exclusively for the Proffesional Danish Whisky Retailers and has been bottled at 48%abv and finished in a Pedro Ximenez Cask. On the nose, it is very complex but a little dim. Takes time to open fully. Mint, dates, floral, white chocolate, banana bread, dulce de leche, peaches and leather. After a first sip, the aroma gave me cherries dipped in dulce de leche, a very elegant spiciness; vanilla and eggnog. On the palate, is fantastic. Red fruits, red wine and lovely spices.more sips revealed white kit kat and salt. Aftertaste is very rewarding. Red fruits, prunes, tobacco, hay. There is this good oak spice present, Gooseberries and Blackberries. Overall, this is one great dram. Elegant, powerful, complex, delightful. The bitterness, sweetness and oak spices makes this single malt one memorable one. My score for it is 93 over 100.

A- amber+2, medium viscosity N- vanilla, honey, wet oak, banana, berries, seltzer, plums, chocolate P- medium oaky spicy arrival, seltzer, full, rich, oily, sweet (honey, vanilla, milk chocolate), banana, plums, dark berries, wet oak, licorice F- short to medium finish, sweet-fruity-oaky-seltzer aftertaste C- the influence of the bourbon cask is strong on this one (btw I love my sherry) the finish of the Pedro Ximenez kicks in at the end but it is overpowered by the influence of the bourbon cask, I will wait one more month on this one and see how the oxidation will help it evolve

Dark fruits, vanilla, quince jelly, chocolate

Minner om balkansk rakija. Veldig søt.
