- Description
- GlenAllachie's 2007 distillate absorbed the richness of a single Oloroso sherry puncheon over 12 years, yielding a sherried single malt of considerable depth at cask strength (60.3% ABV). Dark stone fruit, fig, and toasted oak dominate the palate, underpinned by spice and cocoa from the sherry influence. The high alcohol and oloroso maturation create a viscous, warming mouthfeel with a long, drying finish. For sherry-forward enthusiasts seeking intensity and authenticity in small quantities (715 bottles released).
