Glenallachie 12 Year Old Sauternes Finish
Regular price $130.00
To craft The GlenAllachie Wine Series, Glenallachie first expertly matured their spirit in American Oak Ex-Bourbon Barrels. Subsequently, the whisky underwent additional maturation for almost two years in Wine Barriques meticulously sourced by Master Distiller, Billy Walker, imparting a distinctive twist onto the GlenAllachie spirit.
This straw gold malt gets its elegant stone fruit, zesty flavours from Sauternes Barriques made from French Oak, with a medium level of toasting. Sauternes is a dessert wine originating from the Bordeaux region of South West France, using the ‘noble rot’ to sweeten the wine. These Barriques were bottled at their optimum – when the characteristics of the distillery and the wood reached the perfect balance.
This expression is bottled un-chillfiltered for flavour with no added colouring.
Nose: Heather honey, peaches and grapefruit, with hints of cinnamon and almonds.
Palate: Creamy and velvet-y, there's plenty of lovely fruits like pineapple, apricots, peaches, sweet grapefruit, heather honey, treacle and cinnamon.
Finish: The finish is long-lasting, warming with grapefruit, a slight nuttiness, subtle toasted flavours and a touch of almond.
