The Glenallachie 12yo Wood Finish Series American Oak Barrel Moscatel Wine Finish is a distinguished single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Speyside region. This exceptional whisky has been skillfully crafted at the Glenallachie Distillery, a name synonymous with excellence in whisky production. Aged for 12 years, it first matures in premium American oak ex-Bourbon barrels for over 8 years before undergoing a unique finishing process for over 42 months in specially selected Moscatel casks. Bottled exclusively for Europe in 2023, this whisky boasts an ABV of 48.0% and is presented without chill filtration or added coloring to preserve its natural character. Known for its fruity and aromatic profile, this whisky reveals delightful notes of dark chocolate, grape must, and plum jam. These are intricately balanced by hints of orchard fruits, cinnamon, and honeycomb. The finish offers an enticing combination of ginger and butterscotch, creating a harmonious and lingering experience. The influence of the Moscatel casks, a distinctive dessert wine from Portugal, imparts floral aromas and a silky-smooth mouthfeel. The result is a whisky with notes of tart fruit, rich toffee, and a captivating bronzed hue. Additional tasting notes further highlight its complexity, with a wave of orange blossom, heather honey, and citrus, followed by nuances of grapefruit, butterscotch, and toffee. This Glenallachie single malt is a true delight for those who appreciate a well-rounded and multifaceted whisky."
