Glenallachie 12 year old Port Wood Finished, 48%
Price: $120 ● Issue: Winter 2021 ● Reviewer: David Fleming
The nose has a pleasant oiliness, with red fruit undertones, nutmeg, marzipan, rose water, and black tea. Sweet on the palate, with notes of orange peel, caramel, dark chocolate, and a hint of dried raspberries, punctuated by pepper spice and coffee on the back palate. It does very well with water, which brings more pronounced red fruit notes of raspberry and strawberry. The finish is mid-length, with lots of vanilla, strawberry, and spice.
