GlenAllachie Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #804024 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2010 Vintage
In stock
This is the eighth batch of single casks specially selected for the UK, each demonstrating the unique interation of the wood, spirit and subsequent flavour extension. Originating from Jerez, a city in the Spanish province of Cadiz, Oloroso is a darker, drier style of sherry which directly translates to "scented" in English. A fitting namesake, maturation in the particular Oloroso puncheon has imbued GlenAllachie spirit with rich aromas of oak and freshly roasted chestnuts, whilst the palate offers up indulgent dark chocolate and layers of smooth caramel. Boasting an intense mahogany hue.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Intense mahogany hue.
Nose
Waves of heather honey, fruit & nut chocolate, ginger and baking spices with notes of espresso and vanilla.
Palate
Nutmeg and hazelnuts lead to butterscotch and dark roast notes, with apple peel and chocolate shavings weaving through. The finish is espresso-dark coffee, wrapped in velvety caramel and chocolate hints.
Finish
Long, warm finish with oak-driven depth and a whisper of spice. Dark chocolate and caramel linger, complemented by roasted chestnut and espresso notes, while hazelnut and butterscotch drift into a cocoa-dusted afterglow. A velvety tail that echoes the Oloroso maturation and polished wood.
