  1. KayMeertens scored this whisky 89 points Specialist

    • Nose
      Pear candy, vanilla sugar, apple, cookie and peanut. With water there's something deep-fried but sweet, like churros.
    • Taste
      Pear candy, vanilla sugar and a gentle maltiness. Later some fig and hazelnut. With water there's a sweet kind of orange.
    • Finish
      Dryer. Pear peel, apple, marzipan, vanilla cookie and hazelnut.

  2. karloff scored this whisky 86 points Specialist

    This was my first taste of Glenallachie and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and thanks to Peatbogger for the sample.
    • Nose
      80 80
      This is a strange nose, I smell material like cloth. Pear drop sweets, vanilla shurbet dip, tinned peach, refresher sweet and golden syrup.
    • Taste
      89 89
      Strong and spirity but tasty. Lots of citrus notes, orange, lemon,lime and vanilla extract. In fact it's texture and taste is almost like when you have a sorbet. The spices get sprinkled around the taste buds especially oregano.
    • Finish
      88 88
      The finish is medium to long and quite refreshing for such high strength. Lots of orange peel on the death.

  3. peatbogger scored this whisky 90 points Specialist

    The new core range 18YO is about the same price, even if that's a sherry cask it would be interesting to compare. Presentation... I just adore these bulky Signatory CS bottles.

  4. peatbogger scored this whisky 90 points Specialist

    Powerful stuff... OK, it was a large pour, but it made my mind go almost instantly absinth absent.
    • Nose
      Fresh, fruity, sour unripe apples, yellow plums.

      Some vanilla and citrus.

      Light note of juicy sweet rasberry.

      Given some time in the glass it's a very pleasing concoction of sweet and sour.

      Vegetal grassy undertone, there's thistle in there.

      Spice and the alc strenght is noticable but not offensive.
    • Taste
      Light with a creamy texture.

      Good development of spice.

      Traces of vanilla, dark caramel and brownie, but this is what I would define as spirit driven.

      Sweet oaky wood. A small nip is sweet and warm, but a large sip made me feel kind of puckered every time. In a nice way though.
    • Finish
      Taste is about medium lenght. Neat it's a little bit drying and the pure spice warmth is very long.
