Суммаризация отзывов
Плотный шерри-ориентированный виски с тёмными фруктами, шоколадом, кофе, орехами и специями; мнения расходятся по спиртовой жгучести, дубовым танинам и балансу, а также по разнице между партиями.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах преобладает описание плотного, шерри-ориентированного профиля: тёмные фрукты, изюм, сливы, финики, чернослив, инжир, херес, тёмный шоколад, кофе и мокко, мёд, карамель, орехи, а также кожано-табачные ноты. Среди специй называют корицу, гвоздику, имбирь, мускат и чёрный перец. Финиш чаще характеризуют как средний или длинный, согревающий, дубовый и пряный; часть отзывов отмечает сливочную, маслянистую текстуру и хороший баланс, при котором крепость воспринимается интегрированной. Насыщенность и слоистость релиза крепости cask strength хвалят, в том числе на фоне более «скучных» 12- и 15-летних версий. Вместе с тем есть заметные критические и противоречивые мнения. Часть дегустаторов указывает на резкий спиртовой характер, доминирующие дубовые танины и несбалансированность; некоторым требуется вода или время в бутылке, чтобы напиток раскрылся, причём по воде мнения расходятся — одним она раскрывает фруктовость и мягкость, другим вредит, а после разбавления вкус может быстро «схлопываться». Звучат жалобы на одномерность, недостаток элегантности, избыток всего и «липкость», на доминирование в аромате и вкусе китайского жёлтого вина, на завышенную цену и разочарование на фоне предыдущих партий. Есть и прямо негативные отзывы: скучным и разочаровывающим, «не его», сомнения в завышенных оценках, слишком молодым, чрезмерно «хересным» и не очень сложным. Отдельно отмечают, что виски не является «шерри-бомбой» в достаточной мере для любителей такого стиля. Несколько отзывов сравнивают разные партии: одни более округлые и сложные, другие — более алкогольные или дубовые; отдельные батчи (в частности, седьмой) критикуют за излишнюю пряность и влияние новой древесины, а один отзыв называет виски «прекрасным» и «маслянистым» с высокой сложностью, но немного менее сбалансированным по сравнению с партиями 5 или 6.

The batches of the Cask Strength Edition from Glenallachie are released in spring and autumn. They are always dark, strong whiskys whose relatively young age of 10 years is concealed by an intense finish. Here Billy Walker can put his expertise to use and mature and upgrade the acquired stocks with active barrels. One day they will run out. Let's see what happens to Glenallachie. But now it's good to be able to taste bottlings like this Glenallachie, bottled in spring 2022, which was finished in PX, Oloroso, Rioja and Virgin Oak. glen-efze.de

Although not an old whisky, complex flavors are still present. In this respect the price is justified. Typically Glenallachie – distinctive malt and pleasant sherry influences. The batches are not terribly different. They leave you with an overall satisfied connoisseur.

I love Glen Allachie, a whisky with great characteristics, plus a great special offer, and my whisky cabinet is now three bottles richer with GA 10. It's a shame, this is the first GA I haven't particularly liked. Even neat, it's not a winner; it has a sharp alcohol smell and a not particularly balanced taste. 87 points overall? I really don't understand.

Нос 80 The alcohol and a few dark berries fight for dominance, while cherries and strawberries wrestle in the background. I don't know, boring, a total disappointment, neat or diluted.
Вкус 82 The alcohol predominates in every layer, also dark berries, a little vanilla.
Финиш 85 The finish is actually better than the nose and taste, but not because it's more complex, but because it's rounder and the alcohol isn't as overpowering. Still, nothing special.

Colour: copper tone with a reddish hue, medium WR, sure Conclusion: Needs air, and initially not overly complex out of the freshly opened bottle, but with aeration there could be more...

Very interesting that the previous batch ran out of stock here almost instantly and from this batch there are still a lot of bottles around. Maybe it got more expensive? People didn't have a good experience with the previous batch? I don't know. But I bought this bottle back in May and had a few drams since then. Maybe 4dl is left in the bottle. The liquid developed very interestingly over time. Let's get into it. N: The nose was very sherry forward and fresh after the first dram when I opened it. With time in the bottle (5 months) it got way better. Fresh fruits are still there but way less forward. Green apples, juicy ripe pears and fresh berries from the forest. The Rioja wine starts to dominate the nose for me. Very nice grape notes, dark berries then the sherry comes out. Figs, plums, raisins and dark caramelized oranges. Some spices like ginger, cloves and a hint of cinnamon. Chocolate and almonds. Some mocha. P: I will share the palate that I got recently. Fresh fruits here are gone. It's quite oily and full. Due to the high abv. it's very mouth-warming and strong. Dark berries, plums, raisins, figs and oranges. Cloves and allspice. Grape and wine. Almonds dipped in dark chocolate with some cinnamon. F: Long and extraordinary. Full of dark fruits and chocolate with mocha. My score will be very high of this. I like it. It's good. But you have to give it time in the bottle to open up and let it transform into this lovely thing. If I had to rate right out of the bottle it would be probably 5-6 points lower. I would recommend this bottle if you can pick it up.

Definitely needs water to make it pleasantly drinkable. But I'll stick to it: Glenallachie just isn't for me.

Today I received it. I've managed to compare it with a batch 5 bottle that I've opened about 5 months ago. Batch 5 is by far more complex. Maybe the time in the bottle helped it. I will re-taste-it the batch 7 in a few weeks.

Tasty but very barrel driven and the flavors are rather bumpy and heavy. The price is okay, but for an all-day dram I'd prefer something lighter.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 85 85.5 The different finishes are clearly in the foreground - a colorful soup of sweet and spicy sherry, oak and plum jam. However, the perceptible alcohol is covered by the sherry notes in the foreground. With more time it becomes round and sticky, sweet and sherry-heavy. With a lot of water then rather spicy-sweet.
Вкус 86 A fruity sherry board with raisins, dried plums, liquorice and a very light mint note from herbal schnapps.
Финиш 85 Short, but also intense due to the severity. Clearly alcoholic in the throat.
thijs100 Connoisseur 84 10 may 2022 2:16 pm
The oak spices and tannins are just a bit too much at this point. They've always been part of the GlenAllachie 10 Years Cask Strength, but might've become a little too dominant in Batch 7.
Casketje Expert Senior 87 26 jun 2022 2:13 pm
I compared this vs my batch 5 that I have open - seems like the nose on this one is a bit darker as in more chocolate and coffee forward, while the other batch seems more on the red fruit side of things. The taste also has more of those type of flavours, and it doesn't taste have that older taste which I really liked in B5. Still, this is a well made and well matured whisky if you like this style. Seeing as the overall quality of A'Bunadh has gone down and the price has gone up, this is a good replacement if you fancy a clean cask strength sherry bomb. Plus it has a 10 year age statement, which should be applauded almost in this day & age.

Thanks to ronnholt for this sample. This is good. Not too complex, but good quality. Some would say hot, but hey... why go for cask strength if you don't like a little heat?
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 85 Strength not particularly noticeable. Sweet caramel. Sweet and slightly sour red berries. More like nut shells than wood. Only difference I find with water is that those wood notes gets easier to catch.
Вкус 88 Sweet and spicy arrival. Not too hot but I'll give it a try with a dash of water. Thick texture. Rioja is comming thru. I like that a lot. The spice holds up pretty well after adding water, same with the texture. More chocolat and less wine.
Финиш 87 A little drying. Dark chocolate, yet with a lot of sweetness. Quite long lasting warmth of peppery spice. Water calms it a little, but just a little, it's obviously a very good "swimmer".

Significantly more alcoholic than, for example, batch 6 (despite the lower alcohol content compared to the others). A certain smell of pencil or graphite appears in the aroma. Otherwise, a nice, dense, fruity, chocolate whisky with a quite dry finish, probably a more pronounced influence of the barrels.
CryptoPunk2074 Expert Senior 89 06 dec 2024 7:13 am
Opened about a year ago, enjoyed about 4 ounces, and bottle has been sitting close to shoulder level. Revisiting .. Solid 88 points. I'm enjoying this more than the 15 year which I found quite boring and subdued, and more of a one hit wonder. This 10 year expression at cask strength has so many more layers. 1oz pour with 1/2 Tsp water bringing the ABV down to approximately a perfect 48-50%. Rested in the glass approximately 20 minutes. Room temperature ~73 degrees F, warming glass with hands to about 75-78 degrees F so the oils wake up... And they do. The nose is borderline sickly honey floral perfumed berry sweetness with a hint of oak. Slightly sour note. Almost a fizzy Dr. Pepper or cherry cola note. Sweet Tarts candy. Sip, oily, viscous, honey sweet, red berries, vanilla, baking spices, hint of bitter chocolate and coffee, oak char, so much more fun interesting and lively vs the 15. Finish, tingly bitter oak, sweet baking spices, coffee, hint of dark chocolate pudding or chocolate mousse with coffee liqueur Overall very enjoyable. If I already didn't have a 2nd bottle stocked I'd definitely buy this over the 15 year. No contest. Yeah long after sipping there's this residual lingering bitter sweet chocolate/mocha latte oily coating all over the palate. So freaking good. Fine, 89 points it is. That finish, man.... 15 year old is meh. I'm giving away the 15 year bottle with about 4 oz left for a family member to enjoy. That far down the bottle and the 15 gets really boring quickly.

A typical Glenallachie and an interesting good batch with lots of Oloroso sherry notes. It's worth it.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 87 Lots of spice and wood on the nose, less sweetness and fruit than expected from the barrel selection. Orange zest, caramelized honey, nuts. With a little water it opens up more.
Вкус 88 Dry sherry notes, nuts, dark chocolate and espresso notes, very spicy. Can use a significant drop of water for me. Then it becomes creamier and rounder.
Финиш 87 Long, slowly fading sherry finish without off-notes or becoming flat and soapy. Even some sweetness still comes through.

Glenallachie 10yo Cask Strength Batch 7, 56.8%. Approx 35ml sample thanks to Paul. Very dark amber – almost brown in normal light and a dark orange when held to artificial light. Aroma is coffee syrup, muted with mint and coffee bean. Very closed. Body is moderately oily to full. Taste is quite closed and pointed. It’s the singularity before the big bang. Potential for coffee, raisin and floral flavours, potential for salt and wood, but all of those things are actually coming through very little. Alcohol and a syrupy flavour intensity that offers little complexity. Not hot at all, but bottled at too high an abv for the spirit. 3.35/80 With one pipette drop of water. The aroma is still closed. The palate is a little more red fruit. Spicier too – clove. Has opened up a little. 3.4 Watered to about 52% spicier still. Now more woody. Perfectly okay stuff. Enjoyable enough. 3.425/82

Brief notes from an online blind tasting...
whisky_knight Expert Senior 70 19 jul 2023 9:46 am
The cask strength release certainly helps with the boldness of flavors and a better dram overall compared to the standard Glenallachie 12 Year and 15 Year Old bottlings. But it still feels too young, and mainly a dram that has a weak core distillate completely buried and lost by the PX and Oloroso Sherry cask finish. It's just not very interesting.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 70 Rich raisins, stewed plums. The nose is much bolder on this Glenallachie 10 Year Old Cask Strength Batch 7 compared to the standard Glenallachie 12 Year or 15 Year.
Вкус 71 Medium mouthfeel. You're hit with a richer stewed plums front palate, there's balanced ginger, dusty raisins. It's not too complex, but tasty if you want a "modern sherry" style release. Unfortunately that is all that is there.
Финиш 69 Medium length finish. Much better than the Cask Strength Batch 5 released a couple years earlier. Still, you get primarily ginger and an ABV burn on the finish, some more raisins and plums. It's clear this 10 Year Old is still not as complex you'd hope it to be. It still tastes like a weak core buried by the strong Sherry Cask Finish.

Alex_Whisky_Corner Expert Senior 86 04 may 2024 11:36 pm
The alcohol is clearly noticeable in the nose at the beginning. If you give the whisky time, the nose relaxes and the remaining aromas emerge. The alcohol is also present in the taste at the beginning. Then it becomes nice and sweet and a dark cherry is added. The finish is full-bodied and the oak dries the mouth a little. The addition of water makes the whisky much smoother and fruitier. I can smell a nice apricot. The taste suffers from the water, however, as the powerful start has taken on many of the aromas. Great bottling from Glenallachie and my first at cask strength. You can certainly play around with water a little, but don't overdo it.

Heavily laden with finishes and the different cask types, but the result is quite harmonious—especially on the nose. A young, floral and fruity Speyside whisky that nevertheless manages to draw "old," woody, and savory notes from the casks. On the palate, it initially seemed too wine-like to me, or rather, too "artificially" flavored, but I must admit that the 10cl sample captivated me more than I had expected over several days. The overall impression remains somewhat of a simulacrum sherry malt due to all the cask magic, but the end result is: simply fantastic.

Give the malt enough time for air contact. Sherry through and through. You can linger with the aroma/nosing for a long time as it continues to develop and unfold with air. The taste is then much spicier, not as sweet. Becoming drier, typical sherry aromas. For me, the Rioja is completely lost in the sherry... but it doesn't matter; this is a very good malt. If you like sherry-heavy malts, you won't go wrong here; It doesn't necessarily need water (makes it a bit sweeter), but plenty of time for air contact so that the aromas can unfold for the nosing. [91 - 87 = extremely tasty -> it's best to get a second bottle]

Нос 90 Sweet raisins, figs, dates, prunes; heavy flavors. Hazelnut and walnut (an oily walnut is the most succinct for me here). Christmas spices. (acacia) honey, caramel, fudge, nougat; Vanilla is more in the background. Given enough time, I find dark chocolate with a mocha flavor. nutmeg and cinnamon. The nutty aroma jumps to the fore again and again, is then brought back by the heavy fruit aromas - it's a constant interplay. With even more time, it also gets a sweet floral touch. The alcohol is quite well integrated.
Вкус 87 immediately dry, spicy, sherry aromas. coated tongue. sherry spices. Getting drier. The fruits are first ironed down by the seasoning and the spices. Second sip: dark fruits are now more present, light sweetness (honey, caramel). Bitzelt light on the tongue. Again seasoning and spices on the palate and on the tongue. Dark, heavy aromas continue to spread, but it also becomes a bit drier again, but not bone dry.

Very nice/clear notes of rum soaked raisins, brown sugar, and cherries (the sour ones) in the nose and on the palate as well. Toffee and caramel are also present. There is no bitterness and no detectable sulphur. On the flip side, this is a hell of a spicy/sharp dram - with loads of percievable black pepper and ginger. It does not disappear even after adding some water. The previous batches were simply more to my liking. I guess, the issue here for me is that the batch 7 has a higher portion of virgin oak than the previous batches had. I am not a huge fan of virgin oak, unfortunately... However, this is still a very good/recommendable whisky, especially under the 70 Euro mark.

N: Not open enough. Vanilla, red fruits, chocolate; P: Warm at first, on the border to burning. Rich oily texture, honey and vanilla coated with chocolate, dried fruits along with notes of sherry and red fruits. F: Medium to medium-long length. New wood and malty notes, with hints of cherry, raspberry, and red wines. In this bottle, you can feel the distinctive barley-forward style and medium-oily texture, which is the house style of glenallachie. Cask strength but not burning. If you favor sherry bomb whisky, unfortunately this bottle may not be sherry-rich enough. If you like whiskies, yes just good whiskies or maybe whiskies with/without sherry influence, this dram would be a great choice for you to pour and enough at night

Финиш 88 Subtle but sharp wood spice. Careful touch of vanilla, but not the high-key thin and sweet bourbon type. This is creamy vanilla bean… which then leads to the suggestion of sherry dunnage. The mouthfeel alternates between smooth and light vanilla custard and dry oak. Finish is medium-long.

First impressions are not great on this one (not awful either). But 90 euros, hmmm... what a rip-off... Tamdhu 12 is miles ahead of this and it is considerably cheaper. Cask strength integrity malts do not equal higher quality, but I guess they are appealing to the "whisky nerd". Well, I could not care less. -1 for the price. Edit: I tried it today with a bunch of ice, and this remained very pungent; nonetheless, it never improved.

Нос 79 Bahhh, limbo mode for this one. Boring/one-note, hot and flat, cask cask cask, and not great casks at that. Gets a bit better with water but not much. Subdued in its variety, very acidic and alcoholic even after dilution, veeeeery nippy. Typical sour over-sherried modern whisky, with the common dark fuits (and flat in this aspect) --- acidic skins of plums, blueberries, blackberries, etc etc. Leathery-dusty, bready-nutty. Some indistinguishable spiciness, some honey. That is it: not bad-bad, but not good either, and certainly not deserving of the 90 euros I paid for it. Nosing is my favorite part of the whisky experience, and this one certainly delivers something akin to a budget single malt experience (I would honestly prefer to nose a supermarket Tamnavulin over this).
Вкус 84 Much better on the palate, especially reduced to about 50%. Good mouthfeel, and there is actually a decent malt hiding somewhere underneath these overpowering spicy casks. Honestly, what a relief, the spirit is in fact competent, had it not been engineered this way to provide an "intense" dark wine cask experience. I usually do not approve of virgin oak, but I think it is what is holding this one off from being an all around scam (considering the price). Malty, spicy, that Glenallachie minerality, the fruitiness is more diverse here with balanced sirupy-sweet and sour flavours. A bit leathery and dusty from all the wine casks, but overall pleasant in contrast with the pronounced and diverse sweetness (honey, malt, red fruits). Still some alcohol nip, though bearable. I like it, but not too much, especially considering the palate colapses quickly after dilution, becoming too dusty after 30 minutes in the glass.
Финиш 83 Medium to medium-long, once again it is clear that the spirit is of decent quality, but the overall feel is almost that of a sherry bomb (not my style). Creamy christmas spices, malt, coffee chocolate, raisins, dried herbs, vanilla. Pleasant during the current winter season, but not very diverse or memorable. It seems a lot of distilleries are trying to be Edradour and missing the target, while sometimes being more expensive.

Lovely whisky. They sure know what they're doing at GlenAllachies. Great oily dram with a lot of bittersweets and spices. A lot of evolution and complexity but a bit less balanced compared to batch 5 or 6 (never had the opportunity to taste older batches).
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос 86 An aromatic dark nose with sugary and winey elements- a combination of orange geste with brown sugar and wet chewing tobacco. Hidden hint of toffee, nougat, raisins, and even the sours of cranberries. Upon a second sniff I have some sweet red apples, figs, a dutch currant-bun and some walnut-oil.
Вкус 82 An oily entry and great mouth feel. But the cask strength of batch 7 is stronger then it's predecessors. Immediately have some syrupy bitters, walnuts, spices, some tannines (winey influences) and even a sour touch (the cranberries that are combing back?). The bitters transform into sweets and the wood-tones start to build. After a few sips I get a combo of coffee, ginger, and cinnamon (with a hint of mandarin).
Финиш 85 Mediumlong finish. Grassy. The cinnamon and ginger remain; in relation to some nutmeg and musty pepper. The wet chewing tobacco comes back. Hint of milk chocolate and fig.
