Glenallachie 30 Year Batch 1 48.9%

Nose: Violet, nutmeg, cacao, cedar planks, dried dates / apricots, smells like a drier forest, juniper berry, rich chocolate cake, tobacco leaf, a touch meaty

Palate: Dark chocolate and olive oil, tobacco, intense amaro note.

Rating: 8 / 10 THIS IS SPECTACULAR. For all the highs and many many lows that Glenallachie single casks have put me through, I want to call out the blending skill from this team. They just elevated the brand with this release. I need another bottle, but not paying secondary. Will probably have to wait for batch 2.
