развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах виски описывают как насыщенный и округлый, с выраженным влиянием шерри. В аромате чаще всего упоминаются тёмные и сушёные фрукты, изюм, чернослив, мёд (в том числе тёмный и вересковый), шоколад, мокко, специи и древесные ноты; отдельно отмечают, что алкоголь почти не ощущается. Во вкусе называют сиропность и джемовость, тёмные фрукты, мёд, шоколад, карамель, орехи, кожу и табак, а также пряность и лёгкую горькость шерри. Финиш описывают как длинный, маслянистый и пряный, с орехами, тёмным шоколадом и сухофруктами, хотя в части отзывов он назван коротким.
Среди замечаний встречаются недостаток сложности и отсутствие «вау-эффекта», короткий финиш, а также неприятный фон в аромате (ацетон, сосна) и лёгкая кислотность, которая, по одному из отзывов, почти исчезает после аэрации. При этом виски неоднократно называют приятным, сбалансированным и достойным серии Masters of Wood, без грубых краёв.

Very enjoyable, round and oily, but not very complex. No wow effect. Nose is very nice on dark red fruits and dark honey scent. Alcohol is barely noticable. Palate is less cask influenced than I expected which is actually good thing in this instance. Less fruity than nose suggested. More on dark honey and burnt caramel + some salinity and earthy notes. Note: not-so-pleasant sour undertone almost disappears after thorough aerating in the glass.
Here is the successor in the Masters of Wood series, after its predecessor received such good reviews. A lovely, fruity aroma, although the wood notes are unmistakable. Quite intense and full-bodied, with ripe fruit, tobacco, and leather. Strong in the mouth, almost oily. Here too, the heavy wood notes are present, without being overwhelming. A touch of sweetness provides a pleasant softening effect. Splendid!

Whisky Live Germany. Fourth dram. Detailed description to follow.
Dealer information: The GlenAllachie 19 Year Old Masters of Wood Ex-Solera Sherry Cask is an exceptionally multifaceted Speyside single malt, matured for 19 years. Its remarkable depth comes from former Solera casks that had previously held sherry for over 55 years. Under the personal supervision of Master Distiller Billy Walker, aromas of brandy-soaked plums, mocha, honey, molasses, dark cherries, and spices unfold, before the whisky culminates in a long finish of walnut, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. Bottled at 50% ABV, without chill filtration or added coloring, this elegant expression is an ideal whisky for lovers of intense sherry notes, velvety sweetness, and complex spice.
A beautiful, fruity, dessert treat In taste: as in aroma. it is a beautiful, fruity, dessert shot, pleasantly spicy, The only downside is the short finish. I miss the fullness and complexity.
Tasted briefly at the London Whisky Show 2026.

N: dark fruit, chocolate, but even after opening the nose, there is something unpleasant in the background, acetone, even pine. P: syrupy to jammy, dark forest honey, chocolate, raisins, delicate vanilla cream, spicy F: shorter, oily, honey to vanilla, slightly marigold, slightly bitter spicy
aroma: dense, dark fruit, wood taste: smooth, rounded, wood, dark fruit A beautiful, dense, yet delicate shot. A mature affair, simply delicious.
ORIGINAL TASTING NOTES - AROMA Ripe plum notes meld with the dark sweetness of molasses and robust mocha. A hint of honeycomb and cocoa lends the nose a profound, inviting richness. TASTE On the palate, a rich blend of plum syrup and heather honey unfolds, accentuated by finely dosed, spicy cinnamon. The texture is silky and impresses with remarkable aromatic depth. FINISH The finish captivates with the refined bitterness of ripe walnuts and intense dark chocolate. An elegant aftertaste of dried fruit provides a long-lasting and complex conclusion. ...a lovely, light, summery, sherry-matured Glenallachie... balanced, no rough edges.

A great expression of Glenallachie that’s definitely worth a try.

| Нос | 89 | Raisins and sultanas fill the room. A floral note of heather. The sweetness following is full of chocolate and molasses. Like baking a chocolate cake with brown sugar. The almost bitter sweetness is evolving into marmalade. Very rich nose. |
| Вкус | 86 | The dried fruits continue with spices, now turning into mince pie. The sweet, dried and spiced fruits are then followed by dark syrup and heather honey. Walnuts emerging from the syrup with the bitterness of cocoa. There is some bitterness from the sherry |
| Финиш | 87 | Long and savory finish. The bitterness resides but is neither overpowering nor ruining the long finish. |
