GlenAllachie Murray McDavid Benchmark Single Port Cask #1921137 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2008 Vintage

Colour

Deep tawny amber with coppery highlights and mahogany-tinged edges, a wine-warm glow with hints of ruby undertones.

Nose

Opulent red fruit on the nose: ripe cherry, plum and raspberry with fig and raisin from the Tawny Port cask. A warm, wine-driven sweetness carries toffee, vanilla and toasted oak, while gentle spice—nutmeg and clove—lends lift. The malt-forward GlenAllachie backbone remains bold, polished, and decadently inviting.

Palate

Full-bodied and opulent, red-fruit richness from the Tawny Port cask—cranberry, cherry, raspberry and fig—intertwined with dried fruit and a raisiny depth. Warm spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—sit atop a malt-forward spine, with vanilla and oak providing structure. At 62.4% ABV, the texture is velvety and commanding, finishing long with porty sweetness, cocoa and refined spice.

Finish

Port-driven red fruit lingers with cherry, plum and raisin, guided by gentle spice and oak. The finish is long and velvety, unveiling dried fruit, cocoa and a subtle tannic grip that slowly recedes on the warming, cask-strength glow.
