Glenallachie 10 Year Cask Strength Batch 5

Amazing. Possibly the very best unpeated single malt scotch I’ve tried. Rich due to no dilution. So many dark fruit flavors. Not a single off note. I drank it without a splash of water and no burn. 10/10

I have enjoyed quite a few expressions from GlenAllachie this year, and i was specially interested in the Batch Strength series that came out periodically. After having a little dissapointing experience with the awarded Batch 4, this Batch Strength 5 was incredibly better, and actually restored my faith on this high abv, 10 year old releases. Bottled at 55.9%abv, Chesnut color; matured in Px, Oloroso, Rioja and Virgin Oak Casks. On the nose, incredibly winey. A Px explosion, coffee beans, banana, dates. Impalpable sugar, Caramelized apple, candied oranges. After the first sip, it released this "Patron Tequila cafe" note; royal's caramel flan. Acid prunes and dulce de leche. On the palate it was as good as the nose. Oranges, coffee, salt and pepper. Lots of Oloroso sherry profiles, a very fancy caramel. Aftertaste was outstanding. A marvelous well-crafted creamy chocolate,  mild peat, tobacco and salt. It is very delicate and beautiful for a cask strength whisky.  More sips gave me more notes: hazelnut and raisins. Overall, this one was far better than the World Whiskies Awards 2021 winner batch No. 4. I really loved this dram, i believe it to be very complex, not harsh at all, and incredibly enjoyable. My score for this great single Malt is 95 over 100.

쨍한 쉐리. 건과일. 초콜릿

Strong. More caramel flavor and richness after airing out for a while. Nice spiciness

Almost perfect equilibrium between sweetness, spice and wood!

4.3 향  스파이시, 육두구, 약간의 초코 맛   알라키 12를  응축한 맛   초반엔 베리류 과일 이였다가 끝에는 씁씁한 다크 초콜릿 모카 초콜릿 향 맛이 제일 매력적이라 생각난다 피니쉬가 도수를 감안 하더라도 거칠긴하다. 약간 정제되지 않은 느낌 또 마지막에는 레드 와인 느낌이 살짝 돈다.
