GlenAllachie Chinquapin Virgin Oak Finished Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
In stock
This exceptional malt gets its complex, zesty flavours from casks made of Chinquapin Oak (Quercus Muehlenbergii) sourced from the Northern Ozark region in Missouri. Chinquapin is a sub species of Quercus Alba and delivers spicy flavours and aromas. Air dried for almost four years, then toasted to medium level these casks give us the perfect balance of spirit and wood character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with copper-gold flashes and a sunlit warmth, reflecting toasted Chinquapin virgin oak and caramel-rich maturation.
Nose
Bursting with orange zest, heather honey and pecan, with notes of butterscotch, nutmeg and liquorice.
Palate
Lashings of cinnamon and barley sugar glide over toasted biscuits, giving way to rose hips, orange peel and a ribbon of heather honey.
Finish
Long, warm finish with cinnamon and nutmeg lingering alongside orange zest and heather honey. Subtle notes of toasted biscuits and oak creep in, then fade to a graceful sweetness and a final, softly spiced kiss.
