TASTING NOTES :
NOSE: Upon opening, this whisky reveals an expressive and captivating nose. The initial scents evoke young and resinous oak bark, quickly followed by delicate floral notes reminiscent of a spring flower field. The aromas then become more complex with hints of cherries in syrup and a touch of intense dark chocolate.
PALATE: On the palate, GlenAllachie 10 years Batch 11 offers a rich and balanced sensory experience. A soft sweetness of sugar syrup and honey harmonizes with a slight spice of young oak and cocoa beans. The flavors of candied cherries, burnt plum jam, and raisins enrich this palette, supported by persistent notes of dark chocolate.
FINISH: The finish is long, warm, and deeply comforting. It leaves a lingering impression of dark chocolate and cocoa beans, softened by a fruity sweetness of dried cherries and liqueur. A subtle woody note, reminiscent of a freshly planed oak board, completes this memorable tasting experience.
