Glenallachie Sinteis Series 4 – Mongolian Virgin Oak Finish, 58.5%

THE VIDEO

(Sine-teesh) – Synthesis.

Matured separately in ex-Oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximenez casks before then being transferred into fresh Mongolian oak. Mongolian oak itself (Quercus Mongolica) is the same genus as Mizunara. It’s a type of oak that grows throughout all of Asia, providing a rather similar flavour profile without the drawbacks of Mizunara wood.

Mongolian oak is more watertight, less expensive and liquids don’t need to spend as long inside it to take on those mush sought-after flavour profiles. Loaded with classic Glenallachie notes of pastry, butter, candied fruits and ginger – the Mongolian oak influences have provided hazelnuts, fruit syrups, roasted fig, sandalwood, incense and manuka honey.

It may only be ten years old, but as a release and a flavour, it drinks and feels much more mature. The Sinteis releases have been a massively interesting selection of cask influences from Glenallachie, my mind us racing to think what they’ll release next year.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 615: Dailuaine 21 Year Old Diageo Special Releases 2025

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, tries a richly sherried Speysider. Dailuaine is located in the heart of Speyside. When it was founded in 1853, it was the first distillery to feature the characteristic pagoda roof above the kiln. Unfortunately, that historic feature was lost in a fire in 1917. Only 2% of the whisky produced is bottled as single malt, while the rest disappears into blends, with Johnnie Walker as the main customer. For the 2025 Special Releases, Diageo launched a 21-year-old Dailuaine that matured in former sherry casks.
