GlenAllachie 35 year old 1990 Vintage, 50.2%

Price: 2800 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch

A cask strength expression combining oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, toasted new Appalachian oak, and new mizunara oak. Oriental spices, incense, and that new oak on the nose, plus stewed fruit, treacle, fig, raisin, tiffin, allspice, blackberry, and cocoa powder. It unspools milk chocolate, jellied fruits, baking spice, and ginger root flavors, adding red apple, black cherry, and pineapple, with a lengthy finish of bittersweet citrus, chocolate, and mizunara.
