GlenAllachie er kommet med en ny aftapning i serien Master of Wood, en 17 års Mizunara & Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish.
Som navnet angiver, har denne aftapning ligget på Mizunara oak barrels og Oloroso Sherry puncheons og hogsheads
Billy Walker siger om aftapningen: "As a chemist, I find both cask management and blending truly fascinating. This release combines the finest and rarest of casks with carefully considered blending. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Mizunara, a very uncommon Japanese oak that provides exceptional character but, in turn, throws plenty of challenges our way. Having said that, the result is beyond worth the trials and tribulations.
The flavour delivery from the Mizunara barrels, interwoven with the nutty, spicy character of the Oloroso casks, culminates in a spectacular single malt with delectable notes of apple strudel, runny honey, chocolate-covered hazelnuts and stem ginger. This is indulgence at its finest."
Mizunara & Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish er aftappet ved 50% og prissat til £260,99
Noter (GlenAllachie):
Nose: Heather honey, dried orange peel and crystalised ginger, with notes of cocoa, toasted tobacco leaves and fresh vanilla pods.
Taste: Baking spices, dried blood orange and grilled honeycomb, followed by bursts of rich cocoa, poached cinnamon apples and fig syrup, with pecans and demerara sugar.
