That Boutique-y Whisky Company

The Glenallachie Distillers Company Ltd

Batch 1

ABV 51.7%

Impossible to get my head around this dram. Very unusual finish and ageing, intriguing to say the least. Muscat / wine finish? The sample was finished as I kept sampling more to try and further understand the dram.

Tasting Notes

Charles Montanaro

Taster

Nose: Young fresh citrus, young malt, fresh grapes, muscat, strong musty wine driven aroma.

Palate: Perfume, mint, wine driven with heavy notes of muscat with marzipan.

Finish: Short lived finish, yet, lively and crisp.

Comment: Impossible to get my head around this dram. Very unusual finish and ageing, intriguing to say the least. Muscat / wine finish? The sample was finished as I kept sampling more to try and further understand the dram.

Score: 7.5

Chris Goodrum

Taster

Nose: A little hard with a feint sulphur note (probably pushed stills as it isn’t sherry matured). Industrial with herbs, uncooked dough, coffee and some sweetish barley attempting to inject some balance.

Palate: Vague and surprisingly watery given its ABV, with hard barley and industrial notes. Sweet barley and toffee endeavour to add balance with a mineral note on the middle.

Finish: Drying, grassy and herbal with the industrial notes lingering beneath the citrus.

Comment: Not my favoured style of whisky and for that reason...\nI’m out!
