The GlenAllachie Cask Strength Batch 7 is a 10-year-old single malt whisky, meticulously crafted at the GlenAllachie Distillery in Speyside. This intriguing expression has been matured in a harmonious blend of Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry puncheons, alongside a selective number of Virgin Oak and Rioja wine casks. This release is a part of the first core range introduced by GlenAllachie since the distillery was acquired by Master Distiller, Billy Walker, in 2017. Bottled at 56.8% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and presents natural color, showcasing the purity and quality of its casks and the exceptional skill of the master distiller.
Upon nosing, this whisky reveals rich waves of heather honey, dark dried fruits such as raisins and figs, complemented by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a hint of orange peel, mocha, and treacle. The palate is a delightful fusion of dark chocolate, figs, and heather honey, layered with additional notes of raisins, plums, cinnamon, and subtle hints of orange peel. The finish is long-lasting and elegantly balanced, combining complexity and sophistication.
Batch 7 has a darker profile with more pronounced notes of dark chocolate, mocha, and dry cocoa, presenting a sherry-heavy whisky character. It differs from previous batches which showcased more complexity and red fruit notes.
While water is not necessary, it can bring out additional sweetness. However, giving the whisky time for air contact is recommended to allow the aromas and flavors to fully develop.
It is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its flavors. Serving it at room temperature allows the complex aromas and tastes to be appreciated fully.
Reviewers generally agree that Batch 7 of the GlenAllachie 10yo is a richly flavored and well-crafted whisky. It features robust sherry influences with a strong presence of dark chocolate, mocha, and dry cocoa. While some note it is less complex than previous batches, it remains a high-quality whisky with well-integrated alcohol and a satisfying balance of dark fruits, spices, and oak. The whisky benefits from air contact and occasionally, a few drops of water to bring out its full profile.
