2007 Adelphi Glenallachie 12 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Glenallachie have emerged with new energy since industry legend, Billy Walker took the helm. It's a distillate that's hugely flavoursome. Add sherry barrels to the mix and you're in for one of Speyside's biggest whisky experiences. Recent distillery bottlings show considerable sweetness, but going by Adelphi's notes, this one reads like the PX input is kept in check.

Notes from Adephi... Drawn from a refill ex PX Sherry butt, this has the colour of Lion’s golden syrup with a medium bead. On the nose there is freshly popped popcorn, peaches, nectarines, gingerbread, orange peel, grapefruit juice and breakfast fruit salad. On the taste we found a lovely oily texture, Butterkist toffee popcorn, mint Matchmakers and overripe banana. A well-balanced dram with a pleasantly drying finish. 59.7% Alc./Vol. 621 bottles from cask 900827.
