Glenallachie 11 Year 2009 Oloroso Hogshead Cask #7700 55.0% For France

Nose: Dr pepper, black peppercorn, Kookaburra black licorice, almond extract and Disaronno liquor, alfalfa and fresh straw

Palate: Blackberry and plum crumble. Dark chocolate. Organic rooibos. A strong lick of wood that layers in well with the syrupy sweetness. Layered in with an herbal kick. Like getting a digestif here in the canaries, where they put herbs into spirits and roll their own.

Rating: 6 / 10 – a completely lovely oloroso expression
