Details
This 11 year old Glenallachie is part of The Wood Collection. This release is matured in puncheons and hogsheads that previously held Palo Cortado sherry.
Palo Cortado is the rarest style of sherry, combining the dryness of Fino with the nutty and darker fruit characteristics of Oloroso. It develops when the flor yeast layer naturally dies on a wine that was initially intended to become a Fino.
These casks contribute layered character, with notes of ripe plums, dark mocha and warming cinnamon spice.
Bottled at 48% ABV, natural colour and non-chill filtered.
