Молодой (4 года) торфяной Glenallachie — нехарактерный для Спейсайда прибрежный, дымный и солёный профиль с ощутимой сладостью. Опытные и остальные сходятся: удачный и любопытный эксперимент для своего возраста, оценки плотно держатся около 85–87.
развернуть подробно
В аромате сено, злаки, изюм, мёд и ваниль соседствуют с копчёным беконом, сыромятной кожей и явной торфяной дымкой, а также солью и минеральностью — молодой, прибрежный, почти островной характер, неожиданный для спейсайдского завода, работающего в основном на хересных бочках. Вкус маслянистый и кремовый, с перцем и пряностями, ощутимой сладостью (мёд, садовые и косточковые фрукты), копчёной свининой и солёной лакрицей; торф поначалу неявный, но к послевкусию выходит на первый план. Послевкусие средней длины, тёплое, с дымной древесиной, водорослями, мятой и возвращающейся солью; крепость около 60% отмечают как на удивление сглаженную и хорошо встроенную.
Хвалят смелость и цельность сборки, сравнивая с молодыми Port Charlotte, Kilchoman и Ballechin, и отмечают зрелость структуры для четырёх лет; в критике — избыточная солёность у одного из опытных ревьюеров, лёгкая агрессивность спирта, ноты растворителя, резины и машинного масла, а также сомнения в оправданности цены. Опытные ставят чуть шире (от 78 до 88) и первыми фиксируют смену профиля на торфяной, тогда как основная масса плотно кучкуется в диапазоне 83–88; расхождения умеренные, общий тон согласованный — необычный, но удачный молодой торфяной релиз.

Surprisingly it was quite nice for such young whisky
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 89 | a lot of sweetness - vanilla, dried fruits, honey |
| Вкус | 88 | The notes of spiciness, smoked leather |
| Финиш | 88 | More than average - with notes of smokey wood and seaweed |
Quite similar to young Port Charlotte, woth a different type of peat. Smooth and sweet, already balanced.

Short note from my notes during an online tasting on 12/30/2022: Next to a 30yo Glenallachie this is only the second one that I really like. After at least 20 Glenallachie that I had in the glass, I only liked the very old one and this very young one here.

| Нос | 88 | Clear rye note of spice, lots of sweetness, some peat, nice sweetness and very good texture. The alcohol is surprisingly restrained and round. cinnamon apples. |
| Вкус | 87 | Again a good texture and cinnamon apples again, some peat at the end. |
| Финиш | 87 | Lots of alcohol, but at the same time very creamy and oily. Departure medium long. |

Very nice, young smoker, sweet, interesting. Alcohol strength is very pleasant and integrated. I would not believe that it is 60%. Overall, I rate it very positively. And the question: would you pay +80€ for it a second time? No, thanks. For that, I'll buy a 10yo Ballechin keg for show.

Light, dark straw color. Oily structure.

| Нос | 84 | Peat. Dry peat, slightly sweet. Salty caramel. Salt. Vanilla. Low-cocoa milk chocolate with salt. More and more salt. Even minerality. A pinch of spice. On the second nose, toffee arrives. Fudge. All salted, of course. A pinch of black pepper. Vanilla pudding. The nose has opened up. Better than at first. |
| Вкус | 83 | Peat. Dry peat. Loads of salt. Minerality. Table salt. Quite an oily texture. Turbo-salted peanuts. Vanilla. Salted caramel. Salted toffee. A ton of salt, definitely too much. A hint of smoke. |
| Финиш | 85 | Peat. Even a hint of seaweed. Earthiness. A sweet-salty aftertaste. Salty toffee. Salty fudge. Salty cocoa. Better after the second sip, though a bit too salty. But quite full-bodied. What's interesting about this whisky is that despite its very young age and high alcohol content, the alcohol level doesn't bother you. Long finish. |

texture as well as some greenish fresh notes too. Experimenting and daring whisky with an unprecedented character. This doesn't remotely resemble a Speysider but is reminiscent of crazy Kilchoman. Nicely built aroma of smoke, salt and freshly tanned leather intertwined with warm apples and lots of mineral elements. The whisky is a magnificent example of unexpected flavors being put together. Bold, daring, clever! Very hard to believe that this is only a 4y old product.

| Нос | 87 | Stinky nose at first with a distinct stable smell. Oily with pork belly, and young herring with spring onions. Sweet with peach, honey, apples and a hint of wet earth. Black pepper at the end. Peaty with gentle smoke. Great nose! Unbelievable that this is a young Speysider :-) |
| Вкус | 89 | Peppery at first with a great complexity. Slightly aggressive alcohol with sweet manure and smoked bacon. Peat and salted licorice bound together with freshly tanned leather. Oily and powerful. After a few sips the aggressiveness seems to disappear and the whisky becomes more mineral. Hint of bitters at the end with distinct ash flavors. The peaty aromas are balanced and clever. They do not dominate the whole but form a structured base to build on. Hint of green paprika at the end... Wauw! |
| Финиш | 84 | Medium long finish with young wood and apple compote. The oily touch stays, the porkbelly comes back and the seasalt returns too. Great finish and it's only here one can taste it's youth a bit. |

The predecessor of Meikle Tòir is actually quite interesting.

price aside - really promising peated whisky, ABV well integrated, doesn't feel like whisky that is this young, thumbs up to Billie

| Нос | 87 | bacon, sweet vanilla, honey, leather, fruity |
| Вкус | 87 | peat smoke, sweet vanilla, toffee, vegetal, salty notes, fruitiness but not much of a citrus notes here as we know them from Islay whiskies |
| Финиш | 85 | short to medium - smoke combined with vanilla what else can be expected from whisky at this age |
Sample courtesy of ronnholt. Intriguing and interesting. If you're a fan of the sherry bombs... well, spend your cash on another bottle, but if you enjoy the "heat of the peat" this is actually great.

| Нос | 86 | Oyez! Glenallachie with this level of peat is a new one. Not quite Islay, but it's in the direction. Young and coastal, rather unusual for a Speyside distillery that's on the rise with mainly sherry casks. Smoked bacon. Rawhide. |
| Вкус | 88 | On arrival the peat is really not that up front. But it crawls forward and by the finish it's in the driver's seat and have grabbed the steering wheel. It's sweet, before the peat coup there's quite a bit of savory fruit, afterwards I was just too stunned to notice. Spice is present, peppery in modest amounts. |
| Финиш | 86 | It's young so I didn't expect too much. Length is about medium, although the sweet peat notes are quite sticky with a waft of a mint leaf at the end. |

White wine, peat, vanilla, kippers, orchard fruits, citrus, not bad for a 4yo
Quite good for a 4yo

| Нос | 85 | Hay, cereals, little yeasty, sultanas, honey, dough, nutty, berries, citric, vanilla, pepper, whiff of smoke |
| Вкус | 87 | Oily, creamy, nutty, spices, pepper, honey, good sweetness, smoked ham and bacon, toasted bread, little citric, woody, tobacco |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium long, warm, honey, woody, herbs, smoke and little peat, hint of varnish, rubber, engine oil |
Earth, spices, forest wood, orchard fruits, farmyard funk, old leather, books, vanilla, tobacco ash, smoked meat, salted nuts. Nice, oily texture. This is gorgeous, glad I could get hold of a sample. Great things ahead for Glenallachie if this is a sign of things to come. Will have to keep an eye out for releases that involve post-Billy-Walker-takeover distillate.
