Glenallachie 10 Year Old Spanish Virgin Oak Batch 3
Prix régulier $132.00
This expression obtains its spicy, treacly flavours from maturation in hogsheads made of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur). This particular wood was sourced from the regions of Galicia and Asturias, specifically from the forests of the Cantabrian Mountains, which have a cool, humid climate. The oak was air dried for around 18 months and then toasted and charred to a medium level, opening up the oak to allow our complex spirit to extract its cask character. The secondary aging in these virgin casks deepened the mahogany hue of the whisky and created a palate rich with dried fruits, maraschino cherries and hints of stem ginger.
Nose: Sweet vanilla wafers. Chocolate cherries, nutty and orchard fruit.
Palate: Lighter mouthfeel with Terry's chocolate orange, stewed red fruits and white pepper.
Finish: Relatively short and drying, bittersweet chocolate with bits of candied fruit.
