Glenallachie 2011 Cask #1950 Oloroso & Hogshead

The aroma greets you with dark chocolate, mocha, and salted caramel, joined by orange zest, heather honey, and a touch of winter truffle.
On the palate expect dried orchard fruits, stewed plums, muscovado sugar, honeycomb, and hints of treacle. Warming spice arrives in the form of cinnamon and crystallised ginger to close. The finish lingers with oak, soft spice, and a lingering fruit sweetness.

This dram shines neat in a tulip or Glencairn glass so you can sense the evolving complexity. If you like, a few drops of water will mellow the wood influence and let more citrus and dried fruit tones emerge.
