Reviewed November 19, 2022 (edited November 20, 2022)Super cask Strength whiskies are always good news. If you add "GlenAllachie" to that equation, you are most certainly going to have a very nice time. Signatory is the owner of great distilleries like Edradour, but it is mostly known as one of the finest independent bottlers of our time. They have released this 12yo, 2007 vintage Glenallachie, bottled at a very appealing 64.3%abv, single Cask 900510, one of 615 bottles ever made. On the nose, it starts with a now trademark of GlenAllachie: an Orange peel note. Metallic, like copper. Lime and lemon peel. Vanilla fondant. Red berries, white chocolate and a little rancid spongy cake. On the palate it has two or three very clean and appealing notes: white chocolate; an orange acidity and red fruits. It has a nice bite. Aftetaste is very acid, but nice. Orange juice, with a remarkable acidity. Pepper and a Metallic copper flavor. It is a little sour. Overall, the most impressive thing, is that you almost don't feel the alcohol on this super powerful dram. It just doesn't seem to have 64.3%abv, and i believe that it tells you how well crafted this dram is. A wonderful single malt, my score for it is 92 over 100.
