Glenallachie 14 year old Port Pipe ImpEx Single Cask (No. 7862) 2006, 55.4%

Price: $175 Issue: Fall 2021 Reviewer: David Fleming


The remarkable blush color from the port pipe heralds a nose of watermelon, rock candy, peppermint, and grapefruit, in addition to rose petals, old leather, tilled earth, and cherry pipe tobacco. Spice arrives on the palate, as well as confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, chocolate, and copious red berry notes. Loads of spice and black pepper follow the berry blast, with hints of bitter chocolate and roasted walnuts. (332 bottles)
