Nose - Creamy caramels, apples, grilled pineapple, honey.
Taste - Honey, light spicy heat, creamy caramel, fried plantains, light fruity bitter/starch, apple cores, hint of golden raisins
Finish - Quickly fading heat, lightly dry/starchy feeling, honey, golden raisins, starchy plantains, light fruity bitter
Score - 83/100
Final Thoughts - This was a pleasant dram overall. Nice nose, mouthfeel and generally pleasant overall experience. No real off putting notes unless you don't like banana-like flavors. The slight fruity bitterness can get a bit distracting, but it's not in your face. This feels like a nice summery sipping dram where it's not really that complex and you can just pour & sip neat or on ice all day long.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - If it was around $30-$40?

I just bought a bottle of GlenAllachie 12yo. Was curious what ex-GlenDronach Billy Walker was doing in his new 'fun project', as he called it.
