The ninth batch of GlenAllachie's hugely popular 10 Year Old Cask Strength series, continuing the run of bold, richly sherried Speyside single malts that has made this one of the most sought-after cask strength releases in Scotland. Under Master Distiller Billy Walker, GlenAllachie has built its reputation on exceptional cask management, and Batch 9 showcases the same heavy sherry influence complemented by a small proportion of virgin oak and Rioja wine casks that defines the series.
Bottled at 58.1% ABV without chill-filtration and at natural colour, Batch 9 offers the same remarkable complexity that has made this series a firm favourite among Speyside enthusiasts, consistently drawing comparisons to considerably older and more expensive whiskies.
Colour
Colour: Deep, dark mahogany, reflecting the heavy sherry and wine cask influence.
Nose
Nose: Rich and intense, with dark berry fruit, raisin, and Oloroso sherry sweetness, layered with notes of red wine from the Rioja casks, dark chocolate, and warm baking spice. A hint of vanilla from the virgin oak adds a subtle lift.
Palate
Palate: Bold and full at 58.1% ABV, opening with stewed fruit and rich sherry sweetness, developing into layers of dark chocolate, clove, cinnamon, and a juicy red fruit character from the Rioja cask influence, underpinned by a firm, satisfying oak backbone.
Finish
Finish: Long, warming, and deeply spiced, with lingering dark fruit, chocolate, and a final note of sweet, tannic oak.
