I consider myself a whisky enthusiast, i have tasted a good amount of whiskies to know a bit of the subject. I know nothing about wine. To be completely fair, the little things i know about wine are those that i have learned in my journey through whisky, specially the ones matured fully or partially in wine casks. Having said that, i have had some wines in my life (less than a 100, so i am really an ignorant in the subject), and i believe i can distinguish between a bad, normal and a good wine, based on my taste only. This GlenAllachie has been finished in Grattamacco Wine, a type of wine that comes from a special Tuscany location in Italy, between the towns of Castagneto Carducci and Bolgheri. When googling it i found out that it is a small winery, with 5 types of wines, primarly Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottled at 48%abv, a light peach color. On the nose, this one has a very light and fruity aroma. Starts with gooseberries and a hint of burnt paper. Green grapes is the most accurate and predominant aroma here. A little acetone (feels a little young), it has a hint of chocolate fudge somewhere. This aroma just reminds you of a vineyard. After a first sip, the aroma became darker. Dark, dehydrated fruits like figs and raisins. Very winey. On the palate it feels cold. Most whiskies might give you a hot sensation, this one is cold, very refreshing. Very grapy; gooseberries. A mild spiciness has risen after 10 seconds. Hay and old dried grass. Very earthy, winey. A second sip was lighter, with a raisin flavor. Aftertaste is amazing. Super earthy, feels like an italian vineyard in your mouth. Tobacco leaf, very earthy. Crushed grape peels. Long finished that resembles eating a whole box of sunmaid raisins. Overall, this felt like a super expensive, fancy wine. If you give this dram to a wine sommelier he might think it is an actual fortified wine, and not a whisky. It is super interesting, fresh and full of non-traditional flavors. Great experience, my score on it, is 90 over 100.
