GlenAllachie 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 10, a whisky that’s not exactly about showcasing the characteristics of the new make. Instead, Pedro Ximènez, Oloroso, red wine and virgin oak casks were used to enhance the GlenAllachie 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 10.


Nose: A sliver of redcurrant alongside nougat, teak, crème de cassis and cappuccino. A good portion of stewed cherries and a whiff of almonds too. Then a decent amount of sandalwood, some cigar boxes and resin.
Taste: This is seemingly all about the cask. Arriving on cracked black peppercorns, cloves, a touch of ginger and some mocha. Also peach pits, some cherry liqueur and eucalyptus. Somewhat vinous.
Finish: Medium to long. The oak spices linger, but I also get a few drops of cherry syrup and muscovado sugar.


CONCLUSION
A quintessential example of an engineered whisky. The GlenAllachie 10 Years Cask Strength Batch 10 is well-designed. This isn't about careful, slow maturation, but instead about waking up the spirit with an assortment of active casks. And it works, but it's also not without its downsides.
