The Glenallachie 14yo Wood Finish Series Oloroso Sherry Puncheons is a UK exclusive single malt whisky, specially selected for the UK market. This sophisticated 14-year-old whisky is initially matured in 1st and 2nd fill American Oak Barrels, before being re-racked into Oloroso Sherry Puncheons for over 2 years, during which it undergoes a secondary maturation period in rich Spanish Oak.
Bottled in 2021 at cask strength, 55.4% vol., this limited release expression showcases the distillery's signature style of bold, complex flavors. The whisky obtains its classic vanilla and spiced tones from the initial maturation in American Oak, while the Oloroso Sherry Puncheons impart rich, dark fruit and indulgent chocolate notes.
The Glenallachie distillery, founded in 1967, has a rich history of producing high-quality spirit for blended whiskies. In 2017, it was purchased by a consortium headed by Master Distiller Billy Walker, who is known for his expertise in sherried expressions and single cask releases. This 14-year-old Glenallachie is a testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and innovation in the world of single malt whisky.
The ABV (alcohol by volume) of this whisky is 55.4%.
A total of 2682 bottles were produced for this limited release.
The whisky was initially matured in 1st and 2nd fill American Oak Barrels, and then re-racked into Oloroso Sherry Puncheons for over 2 years.
The Glenallachie 14yo Wood Finish Series Oloroso Sherry Puncheons is a delightful whisky that offers a profound balance of flavors. While it presents an intriguing combination of sherry, dried fruits, and a sandy note on the nose, its taste profile is consistent with sherry and dry fruit, enhanced by a woody undertone. The long-lasting finish, characterized by dark fruits and spice, adds depth to the experience. For its price range, this whisky is tasty and well-crafted but doesn't quite reach exceptional status, meriting a score of 83/100.
