GlenAllachie 1990 35 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky
The Tasting Notes
On the nose, GlenAllachie 1990 35 Year Old opens with rich mocha, crystallised cinnamon and treacle tart, followed by cocoa, toasted hazelnuts and tropical hints of pineapple. Subtle notes of ginger and heather honey develop with time.
Full-bodied and luxurious, delivering waves of cocoa, baking spices and chocolate-coated raisins. Layers of coconut, brandied orchard fruits and sandalwood unfold, complemented by creamy vanilla, dried red fruits and honeycomb sweetness.
The finish is long, warming and beautifully balanced - a true reflection of extended maturation and expert cask management.
