- Description
- GlenAllachie's well-seasoned Oloroso puncheon delivers a concentrated sherried expression: rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, and warming spice dominate the palate at cask strength. Distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2021, this single cask captures the distillery's confident use of quality sherry wood without becoming cloying. The robust alcohol presence (noted at cask strength) amplifies the sherry influence and adds grip to the finish. Perfect for those who appreciate unapologetic sherried Speyside at full strength.
