There is nothing like drinking a good whisky that has been discontinued, because you can say "i was responsible for its extinction of this world, and it was great". I felt exactly that when i drank this marvelous GlenAllachie 25yo, matured in Px and Oloroso Casks, distillery release.
Actually, GlenAllachie, since Billy Walker bought it, has became the king of Speyside whiskies, with emormous flavors and aromas. This was no exception. Bottled at 48%abv, lovely chesnut color.
On the nose, it is exactly as sweet prune that got stuck in you nose. Incredible. Very winey, rum and raisins, dates. It smells like ice cream, it actually smells cold. Chocolate, hay and glazed pork. Dark chocolate. Perfect score here.
On the palate it was divine. Red wine, Red fruits, gooseberries and Tobacco. Oily but fancy. Cuban cigars
Aftertaste continues the greatness of this dram. Salty, sawdust, winey, sulphur and Cigar. It felt citric everywhere.
Overall, this was majestic. I don't know about you, but it is not like i am drinking 25yo whiskies everyday, and what really impressed me, is that older drams normally tend to be a little overly oaked, but this was so perfectly crafted that you are given the proper amount of oakiness to make this dram an oustanding whisky. My score for it is 97 over 100.
