Review of The Glenallachie 13 Year Old Madeira Finish.
 The
Glenallachie 13 Year Old Madeira Finish
is from Batch 3 of The GlenAllachie Wood
Finish range, it was initially matured
for over matured for over eleven years
in American Oak Barrels, before being
transferred into selected Madeira
Barriques which previously held Madeira
wine made from Malvasia grapes.
The
Glenallachie 13 Year Old Madeira Finish is bottled at 48% ABV, it is
naturally coloured, non-chill-filtered
and has an RRP of £54.99.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Apricot jam, a little sugared almond,
some vanilla sweetness, a touch of fresh
pear and pineapple juice, some distant spicy ginger.
Taste:
Apricots with a vanilla and honey edge
is quickly joined by some almonds with a
wee bit of a barley sugared boost. The
fresh pear and pineapple juice from the
nose has a quick word, then some late
gentle yet vibrant oak spice.
Finish:
The fruit fades first leaving the sweet
vanilla and spices to tussle it out
until there is only a little mildly
drying spiced oak.
Comment:
The Madeira cask finish has worked very
well, it adds to the whisky without
making it overly sweet at all as Madeira
cask finishes can sometimes do. I think
the finishing time was spot on, it does
get a little spicier with each mouthful
but be
warned it is an incredibly moreish dram.
