  1. whiskydramo scored this whisky 86 points Expert Senior

    • Nose
      86 86
      Mentholated to start. Red delicious, a bit of sweet herbs, strawberry mints. Strawberries became slightly fresher, caramel, orange peel. Salty dried fig, Li hing mui, then got sweeter. Fruit black tea. The apple freshness came back again. Candied lemon from the emptied glass.
    • Taste
      87 87
      Raisin, dried prune, red apple with tiny bit of sourness. Purple grape with skin. The sour dried fruitiness is nice.
    • Finish
      85 85
      A splash of sour dark fruits. Fruit tea, blackcurrant, grape seed bitterness, Ribena. Ended with grape seed and branches that displayed some sort of dry woody bitterness.

    The bottling is okay, but there is much better from Glenallachie. Quite dry, a lot of pepper at the beginning on the palate. You have to like that.
    • Nose
      83 83
      Takes some time in the glass. Dark chocolate, vanilla, orange, walnut, sweet grapes and heavy red wine. Raisins.

      Behave pure. Even a few drops of water do not change that much.
    • Taste
      85 85
      Peppery to begin with. Then dark chocolate, orange zest, almonds. Grapes and sherry. Quite dry.

      A little water makes it more pleasing, the pepper takes a back seat.
    • Finish
      84 84
      Will be even drier. Dark chocolate and oak seasoning. Short to medium length.

    Duft:
    schokoladig, Trauben, leicht vanillig, fruchtig z.B. Ananas

    Geschmack:
    dunkle Schokolade, Trauben, Trockenfrüchte, Honig, rund, etwas Schärfe.
    Mit ein paar Tropfen Wasser weicher und angenehm ölig.

    Hatte bei der Fasskombination etwas mehr Vollmundigkeit erwartet - die typischen Rotwein-Tanine fehlen mir komplett.

    Leider ist der Abgang ist relativ kurz.

      sehr kurz, etwas von Bitterschokolade und Trockenfrüchten bleibt für einen Moment

    Glenallachie has always been a bit left out. In recent years we have been inundated with bottlings. Fortunately, I am slowly starting to become a fan of this brand.
    • Nose
      86 86
      Sherry and Rioja are clearly present. Fruity, vanilla, honey, dark chocolate and grapes.
    • Taste
      86 86
      Very fruity, grapes, dark chocolate, slightly bitter (tasty). Alcohol is present, but not disturbing.
    • Finish
      84 84
      Short finish, the same elements return.

    Unfortunately a whole class worse than the 2008 Cuvee.
    • Nose
      84 84
      Surprisingly subdued nose: heavy aromas of red wine, spices, cherries, alcohol very well integrated
    • Taste
      67 67
      Very strong - spicy, a lot of European oak. A big sip makes the bitterness "boil over". Too much, hence devaluation
    • Finish
      86 86
      Fortunately, the bitterness is gone and leaves aromas of cherries, raspberries and spices
