Glenallachie 18 year old (2024 Release), 46%

Price: 200 Issue: Summer 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

The nose is bright and vibrant with tangerine peels, summer red berries, and oak spices, adding fruitcake and marzipan fruits as it opens up. The lightness of touch on the palate shows its quality, with a core of orange and berry fruits, then a layer of dark chocolate grows to take center stage, supported by crystallized ginger and tangy, slightly bitter marmalade flavors, then waves of dark chocolate on the finish. (600 bottles for the U.S.).
