Glenallachie 2009 Single Cask 12 Year Old (IMPEX)

12 year single barrel store pick from a PX puncheon. Big time cask influence from the king of casking, Billy Walker. N: Massive fruit bomb. Sulphur. Spicy. Literally no spirit intake at all, but that's par for the course for the amount of cask influence Glenallachie goes for. T: Alcohol bursts through. Warm up front. Very spicy. Stewed fruits. More sulphur. Classic sherry forward Speyside. F: Long. Very long. 12 years gives in a roundness. So. Freaking. Good.

A Sherry Bomb! It’s sweet but well balanced. It goes well with a semi-sweet dessert.
