Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery highlights and mahogany depth, wine-kissed.
Nose
Rich Marsala sweetness envelops a robust Speyside malt: dark raisin and fig compote, dried-fruit medley, and caramelized toffee. Subtle orange peel lifts the aroma, while nutmeg and clove echo spice, mingling with oak and cocoa and a kiss of fortified-wine depth that never overshadows the malt-forward core.
Palate
Bold, cask-strength palate unfurls with dried fruit richness—fig, raisin and prune—woven with almond, toffee and vanilla. Marsala sweetness threads through a gentle spice (cinnamon, clove) against GlenAllachie’s malt-forward backbone. Full-bodied, velvety and robust, it lingers with dark fruit, cocoa, spice, and an oak-driven finish.
Finish
Long, sumptuous finish weaving Marsala sweetness with dried fruit depth—raisin and fig linger against a backbone of malt and toasted oak. A gentle spice tickle grows into a warm, lingering glow from the cask strength, ending with a subtle nutty cocoa echo that sustains the palate.
