I have had this excellent Glen Allachie several times! We still have a fresh bottle on our bar! Expensive but worth it. I am not a sweet scotch fan but I like this one! Terrific thoughts! Cheers!
These Glenallachie single casks, which I think I have tried at least 15 of, have all been absolute bangers! It's always a good day when you try these types of whiskies. Like you said, not bottle maybe but very happy to have samples of. Cheers Vin!
These days I am turning to Bourbon casks! I have had too many sweet scotch whiskies lately. Complex, peated, rich brine, and deeply complex Speysides like a Craigellachie 17 or 21 are faves!!
Pricey but apart from that, exactly what I would like on my shelf. I've never had or tried a GlenAllachie myself, but I'm very keen. I'm sure this would sell out in a very short time were it to be introduced to my country Norway.
I feel like the Glenallachie name costs an extra premium these days, even for liquid distilled back when quality was not a concern. That’s not saying it’s bad whisky, I’m never seen The Whisky World produce a bad exclusive, but if this was an Aultmore 17 with the same stats, and taste, it would likely be much cheaper. Curious if they were/are willing to send you the Edradour exclusive, that one is a bit more reasonable!
Got a few single cask expressions but all younger than this 17 year old (10-14 yrs) and bagged for sub £100 at the time. Still a tad pricey even for cask strength and 17 years so not a value proposition for me sadly unless TWW want to send me a sample 😅
I'm sorry, but I have to ask: when did Black Forest gâteau (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) named after the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in Germany change its name to Dark Forest gâteau... and why? Is this some form of trendy 'woke' overcompensation for terminology that was never racist to begin with? In which case, it makes me furious! So much so that the rest of the review didn't really register...
To be honest, I think that's just me making a mistake rather than it being a thing. I did the tasting notes on the fly just said what came to mind rather than checking the name of it
@@NoNonsenseWhisky Sorry if I overreacted - I've gone through a spate of having to correct Americans that a full English breakfast includes black pudding (a pudding/boudin that is coloured black) NOT 'blood sausage'...

Great review, sounds like a fantastic whisky.

I've never tried a bad one either! Though I've tried maybe 3 or 4 😅
What a treat this must have been for you. Excellent review and I almost felt like I got to experience this special dram. Thanks, Vin.
A proper treat! I've even saved a bit to try again later 😅
Enjoyed rhe review buy wayyyy out of my price bracket 👍
Sounds like a very nice winter dram
Absolutely!

Lucky bugger!

It's definitely worth it to try a GlenAllachie if you ever get the chance
For sure, it's on my list! There's five OBs and two IBs available at the moment, I'm just not sure they're good value as it stands.
Not in my price range I am afraid. But thanks for showing us.
Nor mine 🤣 nice to try though!
Should call it Bourbon started! 😂
Bourbon started 🤣🤣 love it
Nice one. But my wallet says no
Same.
What do you think about famous grouse sherry cask? 👍

I can certainly ask if they'd be willing to send me some!
