Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 488: GlenAllachie 10 Year Old 2009 Sauternes Barrel

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, goes to the Speyside. Before 2017, hardly anyone spoke about Glenallachie, but since Billy Walker took over in 2017, he has put this Speyside distillery on the map. Now it has become GlenAllachie, with a capital A in the middle. This malt was put in the barrel for the duration, but it was Billy who, after 10 years of maturation on a Sauternes wine barrel, found it ready to bottle at cask strength.

 Bunnahabhain Feis Ile 2023 Canasta Cask, 51.2%

https://youtu.be/eknqrXXpjps

Canasta! Welcome, everyone, I’m here to talk to you about the first Feis Ile bottle that I’ve been able to taste, Bunnahabhain Canasta cask at 51.2% ABV.

What is Canasta? A blending of the Palomino grape and the Pedro Ximinez grape varities, the former producing a classically off-dry sherry, the latter producing a ridiculously sweet, rich sherry that is the equivalent of alcoholic diabetes.

Bunnahabhain has matured their spirit in this sherry type and have produced this cocoa powder and orange oil soaked spirit, with all of those classic, salty, sweet Bunnahabhain smells and tastes.

Welcome to a 27YO single cask Macallan. Don’t often get to say that in general, let alone with a little sample sent in the post. This bottle is being sold via Mark Littler LTD and has been bottled by a client of his. Producing only 90 bottles that will be available via the link below, you can also view the huge history and links that this bottle has to huge chunks of Macallan’s history, outside of being distilled there.

I’ve had the privilege of trying this whisky prior to this video, it was a wonderful privilege to be able to try it again.
