GlenAllachie 11 Year Port Wood Finish

Reviewed July 1, 2021 (edited July 28, 2021)Open Date = 12-1-2020 Tasting Date = 7-1-2021 Weeks open = 8 months Tasting proof = 86 Bottle Fill Level =60% Has strong alcohol burn of a young whisky. I'm not tasting that much cask influence. I was hoping to love this one but unfortunately its over hyped and just not that memorable as the quality is fairly low but the bottle presentation looks quality but I will noy be buying any more young spirits from Billy Walker!

Open Date = 2-2021 Tasting Date = 6-14-2021 Weeks open = 19 weeks Tasting proof = 80 Bottle Fill Level = 2/3 bottle.

Hard to believe a bottle can go flat after such a short time but thats the only thing I can attribute this tasting to. I'll think I will gas this now and check back in the future to get a new tasting perspective. -

Glenallachie 10 Year Cask Strength Batch 3
Single Malt — Speyside , Scotland
Reviewed May 17, 2021 (edited July 22, 2021)Open Date = 12-1-20120 Tasting Date = 5-17-2021 weeks open = 22 weeks Tasting proof = 92 Bottle Fill = half bottle. Tasty but still fairly strong alcohol burn watered to 92. Young whisky and a bit over-hyped in my opinion. Would probably be amazing @ 18 years but you get what you pay for and you never get what you don't pay for...........Slainte'
