The GlenAllachie 15 YO was launched August 2019.

You can buy the GlenAllachie 15 YO in Norway at NOK 1000 (11377001), and in the UK at around GBP 58.

Nose: Dried fruits with a whiff of wellies. Raisins and figs. Some nuttiness. I get a distinct Christmas feeling here.

Taste: Medium body. White pepper, cinnamon and fizzy ginger. Notes of apple in the background. Fairly sweet.

Finish: Medium long finish. Continues much as it started. Then towards the end it feels perhaps a little cooler, lighter and more sugary.

Comment: Quality dram from Billy Walker and his GlenAllachie team.

Score: 86/100
