GlenAllachie 12 YO Virgin French Oak Finish

GlenAllachie 12 YO Virgin French Oak Finish, 48 %

Here is one more release from GlenAllachie’s Virgin Oak Series.

The GlenAllachie 12 YO Virgin French Oak Finish was initially matured in bourbon barrels then finished for two years virgin French oak.

You can still find the GlenAllachie 12 YO Virgin French Oak Finish online at around GBP 55.

Nose: Lighter and softly more floral than the Spanish Oak variant. With time really heavy candy store bourbon cask notes, but the soft spices and floral notes remain as a base.

Taste: Medium body. Fruity. Clearly more floral - and almost herbal - than the Spanish Oak release. Hint of cloves.

Finish: Medium long finish. A bit fizzy, raw and slightly astringent.

Comment: Another fun oak experience from GlenAllachie.

Score: 84/100
