GlenAllachie Distillery 13 Year Madeira Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky Review
This Speyside single malt from GlenAllachie Distillery spent 11 years aging in American oak barrels before a two-year finishing period in Madeira casks. The nose is somewhat reserved, but myriad savory flavors shine through on the palate, ranfing from walnuts and apricots to vanilla and oaky wood tannins.
