GlenAllachie 12 Year

This whiskey is like snacking on Cinnamon Ginger Brown Sugar fried Plantains. A beautiful dark color. This whiskey has a nose like fried plantains in butter and brown sugar. The palate is light and just a little sweet. The absence of a creamy mouthfeel is noted. It’s strange to say: the whiskey is “wet” like water on my tonge. But she more than makes up for it with a huge finish of plantains, vanilla, brown sugar caramel and warming ginger.

A solid sherried scotch that does everything well. It has the nice warm and light spicy notes that play well together. Nothing that really sticks out as impressive but all good flavor notes! Looking forward to what Billy Walker does from here on with this distillery!

Soft, sweet nose. Spicy and light fruit on the palate. A nice, soft, lingering finish with banana and raisin notes.

Nose - a mellow but complex mix of fruits, baking spices. Has a sherry forward nose. Sweet smelling and pleasant! A soft nose, with mild spicyness. Tongue -sweet and mildly spicy! A mouthful of christmas cake in liquid form. Notes of apricots, rum soaked raisins, cinnamon, star anise and licoriche flavors. Leaves a fresh feel in the mouth. Has an oily mouth feel but the finish is too short. If the finish was long, this would be a really highly rated scotch in my books.
