Суммаризация отзывов
В отзывах Glenallachie 10-year-old чаще всего описывают как «sherry bomb» с нотами тёмных сухофруктов, шоколада, ванили и дуба, но с заметной пряной/вяжущей горечью. Оценки при этом разбросаны — от восторженных до сдержанных.
развернуть подробно
Судя по текстам, это виски в стиле «sherry bomb»: в носовых описаниях повторяются изюм и другие тёмные/сухофрукты, фиги, вишня, шоколад и какао, ваниль, дуб и специи; во вкусе — густая сиропная текстура, шерри, сухофрукты, шоколад, карамель/тоффи, орехи и пряности вроде гвоздики, муската, имбиря и перца. При этом неоднократно отмечается пряная и вяжущая дубовая горечь, иногда чрезмерная; часть отзывов прямо называет виски слишком пряным или вяжущим. Финиши описывают как средние или длинные, с шерри, шоколадом, дубом, танинами и пряностью, иногда с лёгкой дымностью или кожаными нотами. Отдельно звучит, что добавление воды меняет профиль — усиливает фруктовые и оранжевые ноты либо снижает «тёмность» и пряность.
Общего единодушия в оценках нет: встречаются и высокие, и низкие баллы, а часть отзывов характеризует виски как «неплохой, но не особенный» либо недостаточно разнообразный. Есть и замечания про цену/ценность, а также мнение, что это не повседневный, а скорее редкий/особый напиток. В одном отзыве прямо сравниваются разные партии (batch) и указывается порядок предпочтений между ними, что говорит о заметных различиях между партиями.

Strong body full of oaky tannins (85). More woody spices than other batches, IMHO.

"A Whisky to Enjoy by Its Aroma?" The aroma was truly exceptional, but the unexpectedly strong astringency in the palate was surprising. If the taste had followed the nose, it would have received high praise; however, there’s a tinge of disappointment.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 87 | N) Milk Chocolate, Fig, Sugar, Vanilla, Green Grape, Cinnamon Stick, Floral "Chocolate, Green Grape, Fig ... A Dessert Party" A strong wave of sweetness dominates the nose. Notes of milk chocolate, fig, and sugar—likely from the sherry cask—are evident, along with a honey-like sweetness reminiscent of dessert wine. Though there’s a hint of prickly alcohol, it’s not overly unpleasant and rather whets the appetite. |
| Вкус | 85 | P) Woody, Astringent Persimmon, Dark Chocolate, Vanilla, Frozen Dragon Fruit "A Sweetness Filled with Tannins" It’s sweet but heavily astringent. Woody notes and a sensation similar to over-brewed pu-erh tea or unripe persimmon are quite pronounced. Dark chocolate and vanilla sweetness follow, but they lack depth, feeling somewhat flat. The ambiguous sweetness resembles the taste of frozen dragon fruit or fig. On the bright side, spiciness is well-controlled. |
| Финиш | 86 | F) Smoky, Tannic, Vanilla, Woody, Dark Chocolate, Grape Seed "Like Being Alone with an Awkward Companion" The finish lingers long. There are hints of smokiness, followed by tannins, grape seed, and astringent wood notes. Vanilla and dark chocolate linger as positive notes, but there’s an underlying discomfort that’s hard to ignore. |

Nose: medium intensity and not much going on, but nothing is missing - sweet and a bit bitter, dominated by dark, dried fruits such as cherries/cherry skin, dates, distinct vanilla, nuts/almonds with floral-citrus notes in the background. 86.0 Tongue: quite light and sweet, a huge dose of dessert chocolate is added to the elements already present in the aroma, as well as a pleasant countering peppery spiciness. 86.5 Finish: medium to short - sherry, cocoa, pepper. 85.5 86.5

Great. But slightly more bitter compared to previous batches. This one is a mix of woody bitters, sherry and dried fruit festival explosion with syrupy marimba and cooked mash espresso vibes.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 85 | Vanilla, sherry, and sweat. Yes. Sweat. A lot of sweat, like teens sweat in the dresser rooms of a school. Figs. Oak. Stinky fermenting barley. Leather. Syrup. Sugar cane. Raisins. Dried fruits in general. Roasted nuts. Hints of espresso. |
| Вкус | 88 | A dance of sherry raisin chocolate fudge mellow cake caramel shakiness and makarena of honey roasted almond vibes. Mais (corn)? Cooked mash and vanilla going together to the Friday market where they buy some oranges and mandarins. Licorice. Custard. Syrup (like maple syrup). And buttercake. Raisins again after some oxidation; more wood, more raisins, more sweetness. And then... some interwoven woody bitters. |
| Финиш | 86 | Long! Starfruit. Strong sherry sweetness with woody bitters and raisins, caramel-chocolate, pralines, cherry-chocolate candy, cotton candy, oak, mushroom touch and hidden earthy vibes. Complex. Very sweet! |

N: dusty curtains! Solvent, lemon, red berries, woody T: beautiful mouthfeel, at cask strength is shippable but hard to discern specific flavours. With water, the red fruits come right out, very little spice from the spirit, Turkish delight appears. Medium long finish that remains sweet for a long while.

Batch 8/9 Vertical Batch 9 Overall Review: "Dark Sherry Bomb that pretended to be a sweet and sour Sherry Bomb" If you add a little water, the dark feeling is slightly adjusted and the balance is much better. The stimulation is slightly more prominent, but personally, I think it shows a variety of layers as the sweetness and sourness come to life. If you are not satisfied with batch 9, I recommend adding a little water. If you add water to around 40%, the dark feeling is mostly adjusted and only a slight nuance remains. The harmony of sweetness, sourness, and spice seems to get better as the alcohol content goes down. In the case of spice, there are times when it is excessive, but it shows a momentary stimulation like pepper or garlic and gradually subsides, so it might be good to find your taste by adding water. Total score: 86.3
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 86 | Batch 8: 87 Raisins / Apricots / Dried Figs / Nuts / Brown Sugar / Toffee / Licorice / Orange / Cloves / Nutmeg / Oak / Vanilla The nose is sour due to the rise in the buzz. In typical sherry chestnut style, the scent is mainly raisins, along with apricots and dried figs. The bitter and oily nuance of nuts spreads as if eating nut shells together, and the sweetness, like a mixture of brown sugar and toffee, is strongly felt. The sweetness is mixed with a little licorice nuance, making it feel even darker. The sourness of orange blends appropriately to balance it out, and the spice of cloves and nutmeg and the slightly dark oakiness create complexity without being too sweet or sour. The rich vanilla nuance adds even more richness to the scent. However, rather than being delicate, it is composed of a scent that hits strongly like a river shot. Batch 9: 86 Raisins / Dried Cranberries / Dried Apricots / Nuts / Lemon / Orange / Cloves / Vanilla / Oak / Cinnamon The buzz is strong enough to make the nose sour. It is a style of sherry chestnut with a lot of sourness, and you can strongly feel the sweet and sour scent of sherry mixed with raisins and dried cranberries. Nuances of dried apricots are mixed in and form layers, and you can feel the nutty flavor together. The sourness of lemon and orange is quite strong, making your mouth water, and there is a lot of spice of cloves. A bit of virgin oak-like woody scent is mixed in, and vanilla draws the picture in the base. Cinnamon is slightly hidden in the stimulation. Batch 8 vs. Batch 9: Both batches have a strong Sherry-Bomb style and a strong Buzz. When comparing the batches, Batch 8 has a slightly stronger raisin, honeysuckle, and oaky flavor. Batch 8 has a slightly heavier and more powerful punch. Batch 9 has a slightly lighter and more tart flavor. In particular, the tartness is slightly stronger with a hint of clove, so it has a slightly refreshing, carbonated pop. |
| Вкус | 87 | Batch 8: 85 Dried cranberries / raisins / figs / nutmeg / ginger / pepper / toffee / caramel / vanilla / orange candy / hazelnuts / cacao nibs / oak The impact is very strong from the beginning, and the stimulation feels burdensome. Even when I control the amount of drink and put a small amount in my mouth, it is so strong that I can feel the heat. As my mouth starts to burn, a very strong sherry nuance hits my mouth, and the sourness is emphasized quite a bit, so I feel the nuance of raisins mixed in half with dried cranberries. Figs are also added generously to add variety to the layers. As I get used to the impact mentioned above, the feeling begins to break down little by little, with the nuance of nutmeg as the focus, and the spicy and spicy taste of ginger and pepper spreads on my tongue and mouth. The sweetness is also strong, with a complex sweetness like toffee and dark caramel, and the sourness of orange is added, making it feel like orange candy. The richness of hazelnuts mixes together, and the bitterness of cacao nibs is felt, and a slight okiness is mixed together. Batch 9: 87 Raisins / Dried figs / Dried apricots / Orange peel / Dark caramel / Toffee / Cloves / Nutmeg / Ginger / Almonds / Hazelnuts / Dark chocolate / Oak Unlike the scent, it approaches in a rather dark and heavy sherry balm style. The sherry balm, which focuses on raisins, is strongly developed with dried figs and dried apricots, and a moderate stimulation spreads in the mouth. The sourness is slightly mixed to give an orange nuance, but it is not overpowered by the dark nuance of sherry and sweetness. Rather, I think it has changed into a feeling like orange peel as the bitterness is mixed in. The sweetness is also quite strong in the dark feeling mentioned above, and it approaches with dark caramel and toffee. As for the spice, it balances it out without being excessive, with the nuance of clove being the strongest and the nuance of nutmeg mixed in. The carbonation that pops like popping candy on the tongue and the spicy taste of ginger remain slightly. The bitterness is followed by the rich oiliness of almonds and hazelnuts, and the nuance of dark chocolate, along with the nuance of oak that has been soaked in a bit of sherry. Batch 8 vs Batch 9: Batch 8 has too much spice to it, making it burdensome to drink. It has a strong sherry balm style, and unlike its scent, it has a sweet and sour flavor and a pretty good balance, but the spice ruins everything. Sometimes, virgin oak CS whiskies can have too much spice, and Batch 8 has a similar spice. Batch 9 has a very dark and heavy sherry balm, and unlike its scent, the spice is appropriately adjusted to act as a balancer so that it doesn't become too sweet. However, it has a nuance that seems to be very buried in the dark feeling. |
| Финиш | 86 | Batch 8: 83 Raisins / dried figs / nutmeg / ginger / toffee / vanilla / tannin / cacao nibs / leather The finish is medium to long. Similar to the aroma and taste, it is a sherry-bomb style, and the burning sensation on the tongue lingers for a very long time. It forms a similar structure to the taste, with the sherry - spice - sweetness being the main focus, but the tongue feels slightly dry due to the slight nuance of tannin. The bitter cacao nibs are felt a little stronger than in the taste, and a slight leather nuance remains. Perhaps because of the strong taste, it gives a slight mineral and watery feeling at the same time as it goes to the latter part of the finish. Batch 9: 86 Dark chocolate / raisins / dark caramel / cloves / ginger / nutmeg / leather / tannin / vanilla The finish is medium to long. Similar to the taste, it is a sherry chestnut style with a lot of dark nuances mixed in, and starts with a dark chocolate nuance. As the sherry chestnut unfolds, a dark caramel-like sweetness is mixed in, and the spicy nuances of clove, ginger, and nutmeg are mixed together, which stimulates the tongue quite a bit. While forming a slightly popping candy-like stimulation, you can feel the tannin feeling that the tongue feels slightly dry. As the finish lengthens, you can feel the vanilla that formed the base. Batch 8 vs. Batch 9: Batch 8 has a similar finish to the taste, with a very long-lasting tingling sensation on the tongue due to the intense stimulation. Even though most of the other flavors and aromas have faded from the tongue and nose, the tingling sensation lingers, reminiscent of the spiciness that lingers after eating hot peppers. Batch 9 has a much more restrained tingling sensation than Batch 8, but it is still quite intense, leaving a strong dark sensation similar to the taste. |

03/02/2024 - 30 ml + 20 ml reduced by 43% It seemed to me like a typical ex-bourbon with spices and acetic notes. Bad value for money in Brazil with independent imports.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 82 | Lemon, vanilla, caramel on first impression. Then comes malt, non-alcoholic spice, slightly citrus and some baked bread. Honey, propolis, spices such as cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It has an intriguing note, I think like caramelized dried fruit and lemon zest and ice cream flakes. With water it increases the vanilla and extinguishes the alcohol, but it is still hot. Sweet spices. Reduced to 43% it became mentholated, vanilla and tutti-frutti. |
| Вкус | 80 | Vanilla, caramel, light new wood, cooked vegetables, spicy. Also spices like Syrian pepper. With less spicy water, light acetic, new wood and typical ex-bourbon. Reduced to 43% it is a typical ex-bourbon, with some spice. |
| Финиш | 76 | Medium, hot, new wood and spicy. |

0953-GLENALLACHIE 10 yo CASK STRENGTH BATCH 9 SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT SCOTCH Whisky 58.1%. ...I must admit, it's been a while since I've had such a cohesive distillate: nose, mouthfeel, finish—it all works together. The whole thing is quite intense, complex, and, importantly, digestible. Although, it must be admitted, this isn't a drink for everyday consumption. It's more of a once-in-a-while drink, or for special occasions or tributes. It's very interesting.
