Glenallachie 10 Year Old French Virgin Oak Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Batch 2 of Glenallachie's Virgin Oak Series is made up of ten year old whiskies (the last batch were twelves). This golden bronze malt was first matured in American oak ex-Bourbon barrels before undergoing additional maturation for approximately 18 months in hogsheads made of French oak (Quercus Robur) sourced from the Haute-Garonne region. The fine-grained wood was air-dried for fifteen months before being filled. The finishing period has added silky tannins, sweet spices and fruit notes to what is described as a delectable, earthy single malt. Bottled at 48%, natural colour and non chill filtered. Extremely limited stocks.

Notes from the producers... COLOUR: Golden Bronze. NOSE: Waves of orange peel, heather honey and soft spice, followed by caramel, orchard fruits and mocha. TASTE: Layers of heather honey, mocha and brittle toffee, with grapefruit, cinnamon, earthy tannins and notes of ginger on the finish.
