This mahogany malt obtains its spicy treacly flavors from maturation in hogsheads made of Spanish Oak (Quercus Robur). This particular wood was sourced from the regions of Galicia and Asturias specifically from the forests of the Cantabrian Mountains which have a cool humid climate. The Oak was air dried for around 18 months and then toasted and charred to a medium level opening up the Oak to allow our complex spirit to extract its cask character. The secondary aging in these virgin casks deepened the mahogany hue of the whisky and created a palate rich with dried fruits maraschino cherries and hints of stem ginger.

John Icholson –
Nose: nice sweet and spicy aroma, not strong but nice, fruity (pears, oranges?) and maybe honey and ginger hints; Taste – slow building to spiciness (maybe cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger?), but also definitely some coffee flavor and maybe chocolate; Finish: some flashback but not bad, some flavor, again coffee. Overall: Good, but there are better GlenAllachie ones (Note: I really dislike coffee, so a coffee lover mike like this one,)
