Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed
March 27, 2020 (edited June 14, 2021)
Nose - Rich fruity honey, dark red stone fruits, berry fruit leather, dried apples, cinnamon red hots
Taste - Sweet berry honey, dark dried red berries, ripe strawberries/dark cherries, hint of ginger
Finish - Lingering sweet heat, red berries, apple/berry fruit leather, berry honey
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - Very nice nose, sweet red berries & thinned out honey dominate from start to finish. This one is quite the dessert dram for sure. I think this would pair very well w/ either dark chocolate or maybe an apple tart or something. This is quite tasty, but it's a bit sweet even for my taste. Nice balance of flavors and nothing off putting, just a bit overall sweet.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe

Haven’t had any Glenallachie yet. Been reading mixed reviews but this seems the one to get/try.
These guys are also putting out so many variations now. Ever since Billy Walker took over, their production has gone up.
@WhiskeyLonghorn So far the ones I've had are completely different profile (to the old 15 revival). The GD 15 is rich toffee these much lighter fare
I see this one compared to Glendronach 15 a lot (maybe the Billy Walker connection?). Curious to hear your thoughts comparing the two.
