Description
THE GLENALLACHIE BATCH 3 21Y 70CL
The GlenAllachie 21-Year-Old Cask Strength Batch 3 stands out as a whisky that embodies craftsmanship and patience. Basically, this release follows a year of celebrating master distiller Billy Walker’s 50th anniversary in the whisky industry. Walker blended this sherried single malt using whisky from three Pedro Ximénez Sherry puncheons. Only 2,400 bottles of this rare whisky emerged, each bottled at a powerful cask strength of 51.5% ABV. The whisky contains no added color and undergoes no chill filtration, ensuring purity and richness.
Tasting Notes
Firstly, the deep, intense walnut color of the whisky hints at the bold character inside.
Secondly, the nose reveals waves of black grapes, raisins, and dark chocolate orange. Followed by hints of coffee, stewed fruits, and treacle syrup. These aromas preview the whisky’s complex profile.
Then, on the palate, the whisky displays a beautifully balanced sherry influence. With flavors of sun-dried raisins, spiced fruitcake, and waxy orange peel. Muscovado sugar adds a subtle sweetness, making each sip more intriguing.
Finally, the finish remains equally satisfying as baking spices and toasted almonds linger long after the final sip.
The GlenAllachie 21-Year-Old Cask Strength Batch 3 showcases the distillery’s signature heather honey notes. Beautifully integrated with bold flavors from the Pedro Ximénez Sherry wood. The whisky reflects Walker’s expert blending skills and his ability to manage wood. His dedication to excellence shines through in the whisky’s refined qualities. Including espresso, brandy butter, and dark chocolate fondant.
In conclusion, encased in a luxurious pine green box lined with suedette and adorned with gold foil. This release becomes a true collector’s item. Chiefly, each bottle represents the culmination of years of careful planning. Making it a rare and exquisite addition to any whisky lover’s collection.
