Суммаризация отзывов

развернуть подробно
В носовых описаниях преобладают насыщенные тёмные фрукты, шоколад, кофе, чернослив, финики и изюм в роме, к ним добавляются специи, табак, апельсин, карамель и тоффи; один отзыв отдельно отмечает марципан и корицу, ещё один — травянистость с ассоциацией с травяным ликёром. Во вкусе повторяются сладость и тёмно-красные фрукты, маслянистая текстура, специи, дуб и танины; несколько текстов подчёркивают крепкий, «горячий» алкоголь, хотя другие называют его хорошо интегрированным. Финиш в большинстве описаний сухой, пряный, дубовый и довольно долгий, с нотами кожи, табака, специй и фруктов; часть рецензентов отмечает нарастающую горчинку, тогда как один прямо говорит, что неприятной горечи не замечает.
Среди оценок есть расхождения: одни хвалят виски как очень удачный, «взрослый» и сложный, с хорошим балансом сладости, фруктов и терпких компонентов, отмечая при этом, что для большего числа баллов не хватает глубины и сложности; другие считают, что экстремальная сладость делает его непохожим на классически выдержанный виски, а дуб и горечь перевешивают. Несколько отзывов описывают профиль как «чистый современный шери», подчёркивая длительную выдержку в дубе (в том числе предположения о выдержке в ex-bourbon до PX), а также сравнивают с другими релизами того же периода; цена около 95 евро в одном отзыве названа оправданной.

SMELL very lush, complex dark fruit notes with chocolate, espresso ripe dates. Then spicy with pipe tobacco, sweet toffee and orange. In the TASTE as in the nose. Fat viscosity like wax. There are also walnut and cinnamon with marzipan bread. In the finish very dry, spicy, old rotting wood in the forest, heather, fruity wild berries and cinnamon with rose petals.

Glenallachie 2008, Kirsch Import Germany, 12 years, PX Puncheon, bottled with 55.9%. Another very successful bottling that Billy Walker and his team brought on the way here. Very sweet on the nose, but a lot more "adult" and more complex in the mouth. The finish is very pleasant and puts you in the mood for more. Fortunately, I was able to compare the PX directly with the 2009 Oloroso Cask 7699, which I also liked very much. Actually, I'm more of an Oloroso lover, as I like the fruitiness of the sherry type more than the voluminous sweetness of the PX. This Glenallachie is a little different. In the nose it delights with its unbelievable, multi-faceted sweetness, which it then completes in the mouth with wood and spice. The alcohol is very well integrated and carries the aromas very well. All this at a price of around 95 euros is really worth a recommendation. Yesterday I had the 1990 Cask 6517 in the glass, which is five times as expensive. And I have to be honest: I'd rather buy five bottles of this than a bottle from the 1990s. In order to keep the comparison to the 2009 Cask 7699 I am giving a strong 91 points today. He definitely deserves it for my taste. Slaintè!

| Нос | 91 | The color is dark maroon and the 2008 Glenallachie has a clean, modern sherry profile. Even when pouring into the nosing glass, an incredibly sweet PX scent exudes. Dark plums, dates, cherries, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, raisins soaked in rum, brittle ... In short: up and down the candy store. At night, a good 10 more minutes in the nosing glass, delicate hints of a light wood / spice note can be sensed. Very subtle, but it's there. Compared to the 2009 Oloroso, the “Dutch winter” (Cask 7699), the wood note is much weaker here, although the PX has been in the barrel for a year longer. |
| Вкус | 91 | The 55.9% push hard on the tongue. I really like the first impression in my mouth. The Glenallachie presses forcefully on the tongue, now not as sweet as in nosing. Now the wood strikes a little more and you can discover fine herbal notes, a hint of ginger sharpness and "young" wood, a scent of wood, like a small new wooden barrel that is used for whisky maturation. I like it very much, because the Glenallachie now has more to offer than just the sweetness from the nosing. A few drops of water change the Glenallachie in such a way that it now also adds a bit of complexity in the nose and more spicy and herbal notes can now be heard here as well. |
| Финиш | 90 | I also really like the finish. Sweet and spicy notes are very skillfully balanced and are still present for a relatively long time, which is not necessarily attributed to such young malts. Over time, the aromas in the mouth become less and ultimately a slightly bitter dryness remains that calls for another sip. |

Delicious part and also quite complex, but the bitterness outweighs more and more at the back.

Gorgeous! Very tasty dram, packed with flavors. Nice balance of sweetness, fruit and tart components. For me a mixture of cherry jam, white coffee, chocolate and wood. The wood is present, but in no way suffocates the fruit. When it comes to bitterness, I'm usually quite sensitive, which makes it all the more surprising for me that I don't notice any unpleasant bitterness here, rather spice paired with some roasted aromas. The alcohol is pretty well integrated, in any case not unpleasantly present for me. Overall very successful, so it cracks the 90 point mark for me. For more points, of course, it lacks a little more depth and complexity. This one a few years older and then a finish in a first fill bourbon barrel for the beautiful vanilla-coconut-tangerine bouquet on top ... that would be something!
ripe / dried fruits, sticky PX sweetness, dark chocolate, coffee 1-2 drams are very fine, it is not drinkable due to the extreme sweetness it doesn't have much to do with a classically matured whisky

Nose: dark chocolate, plums & dates Palate: oranges, honey & cinnamon Finish: leather, slightly tobacco & oranges A very good PX cask - I cannot understand a 90+ here which you see a lot in the base but for me also the best of the young casks of this release 88/100
Perfect…. Absolutely awesome PX... A dream… Full bodied and soft.. Alcohol well integrated.. Top shelf…

Barrel heavy but on the good side. I wouldn't be surprised if the distillate had been in the bourbon cask for a while before the PX filling.

Reminds me of a fruity Black Forest cherry cake. Very oaky, definitely aged for a long time in an ex-bourbon barrel. Not quite to my taste, as the distillate isn't really noticeable anymore!
Awesome PX.. Perfect nose... Wonderful on the palate… Super soft and yet full-bodied... Brilliant… Should be rated better...

| Нос | 91 | Immediately very sweet, chocolate raisins, plums, rum, tobacco, light oak spice, a little orange |
| Вкус | 90 | Powerful start, warming, very sweet, ripe plums, ginger, oak spices that are getting stronger, resulting in dark chocolate (at least 75%) and herbal mix |
| Финиш | 88 | Long and dry, further intense oak spice and plum sweetness |
Lots of herbs (had to think about Jägermeister for a moment), intense taste.
