The GlenAllachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - Batch 13

Always unapologetically flavour-packed, the latest batch of natural strength Glenallachie has landed! Like previous editions, the mix for No.13 includes a range of wood types, this time heavily weighted toward Pedro Ximénez - just over half the vatting - with the remainder split roughly evenly between virgin oak, Oloroso, and red wine, slightly heavier on the first two. Bottled with zero chill filtration at close to 60% ABV, this will be one super tasty sherry bomb - nothing more, nothing less!

Other reviews... A superbly rich, full-bodied GlenAllachie with excellent persistence. The combination of dried fruit, molasses, fudge, nuts and honeycomb works beautifully, and it improves rather than falls apart with water. The slight solventy note on the nose is the only minor distraction. Very, very good. - whiskybase.com
