Glenallachie Glenallachie,蘇格蘭的年輕酒廠(1967年設置),在speyside地區,Ben Rinnes 山腳下,亞伯樂酒廠旁.Glenallachie不知名到幾乎所有喝single malt的人都沒聽過這家酒廠,它根本沒有任何原廠裝瓶的single malt問市.生來注定當調和威士忌的配方.少見的幾支裝瓶廠裝出來的Glenallachie,不是酒齡低的像學齡前的小朋友(威士忌萌沒有用吧?),就是表現平庸. 這瓶三四年前TWE弄出來的Glenallachie 35 yo 'Anniversary Selection' (46.9%, Specialty Drinks, first fill sherry, 2010)應該算少見的Glenallachie,最好的一瓶吧. 照年份推估,應該是1975或是1974.第一次雪莉桶. 以下是Serge的酒評 http://www.whiskyfun.com/archivejanuary11-1.html#100111 Glenallachie 35 yo 'Anniversary Selection' (46.9%, Specialty Drinks, first fill sherry, 2010) Five stars A bottling done by the good folks behind The Whisky Exchange. Colour: amber. Nose: it’s not an exceptionally monstrous sherry but some sherry there is, as it starts all on notes of old red wine, balsamic vinegar (only touches) and ‘new’ leather. It’s actually close to sherry as such and far from chocolate, prunes and jams if you see what I mean. Whiffs of old wine cellar, saltpetre, flints, touches of farmyard, horse saddle, oyster sauce, game… Isn’t all that a bit like a 1934 Chambertin? ;-). Also a lot of cigarette tobacco (newly opened pack of, say Camels?) Mouth: yes, indeed, an old wine! Some rancio like in some old cognacs, prunes this time, milk chocolate, quinces, cherries, coffee and that leatheriness that’s not too far from matches and gunflints but that’s not, well, that thing very en vogue at some writers’ if you say what I mean. What’s sure is that I like these notes. Finish: rather long, perfectly balanced, which isn’t always the case with these old sherry-infused malts. Cpffee, cherry jam and a little capsicum in the aftertaste. Comments: no schmaltz at all, and no sulp…y old sherry monster either. Recommended. SGP:552 - 90 points.
