The Glenallachie 8 Year Virgin Oak Series Scottish Oak Finish Single Malt Whisky 48% Alc 700ml
The Glenallachie 8Year Virgin Oak Series Single Malt Whisky 48% Alc 700mL
-
This is part of GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series, specifically the 8‑year-old batch finished in Scottish Sessile Oak (Quercus petraea) casks sourced from the Atlantic coast of Scotland
-
The oak used is quite rare and difficult to work with (grows slowly, knots, etc.), making this finish especially distinctive.
-
Before use, the oak was air-dried for 36 months, then toasted and charred to a medium level.
-
Bottled at 48% ABV, with no added color and non-chill-filtered to preserve the whisky's natural character.
-
The “golden sunset” color is part of its visual appeal.
Tasting Notes
Nose (Aroma):
-
Baked oats, rich butterscotch, and creamy toffee.
-
Warm spices: cinnamon and gingersnaps.
-
Heather honey adds a delicate floral sweetness.
Palate (Taste):
-
Generous lashings of heather honey and orchard fruits (like apples or pears).
-
A zest of lemon gives a citric lift.
-
Creamy white chocolate richness, mingled with cinnamon and ginger spice.
-
On the finish: toffee and butterscotch linger.
