Glenallachie 2005/2023 - 18 yo - 1st Fill Amarone Hogshead #901061 - Best Dram

Special features: This single malt matured for 18 years in a first-fill Amarone hogshead, which imparts fruity and spicy notes to the whisky. This limited edition of only 280 bottles comes from Michel Reick's renowned Best Dram series and presents itself at high cask strength without chill filtration or added coloring.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Pleasant fruit sweetness of bacon cherries, which develops into a marble cake with dark chocolate.
• Palate: Almost creamy and chocolatey, followed by red fruits, especially dominant cherry notes and tangy red currants. Over time, the flavors blend into an intense cherry pie.
• Finish: Long finish with chocolate cake and sunken cherries.
