The eighth 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 8 is no exception — showcasing the same heavy sherry influence complemented by a small proportion of virgin oak and Rioja wine casks that defines the series.
Bottled at 57.2% ABV without chill-filtration and at natural colour, Batch 8 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
Deep, dark mahogany, reflecting the heavy sherry and wine cask influence.
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.
Palate
Bold and full at 57.2% 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.
Finish
Long, warming, and deeply spiced, with lingering dark fruit, chocolate, and a final note of sweet, tannic oak.
