GlenAllachie The Sinteis Series Part I 2014 Chinquapin & Pedro Ximénez Cask Matured, 57.8%

Pronounced sin-teesh, this series explores the flavors of virgin oak and sherry cask combinations. On the nose, there’s dried orange peel dipped in dark chocolate, leather, clove, charred oak, gingerbread, cocoa powder, and maple syrup. An easy sipper at high proof, with ginger cookies, butterscotch sauce, candied lemon, pepper, ground cinnamon, bramble, and chocolate praline. Mouth-coating and deliciously tasty.
