GlenAllachie 2012 9 Year Old Cuvee Cask Finish

Have tried a range of whiskies that have red or white wine or port finishes and its often difficult to discern much of a finish. This Glenallachie cuvée (name is a bit pretentious) is the exception. Had a glorious claret aroma on opening and several weeks later it is still there. There is a definite red wine flavour on the palate but it is so well balance it doesn't detract from the whisky or the whisky from it. Biggest problem with this is that it is so easily drinkable undiluted and i have been conscious to force myself to drink other whiskies so that i will not run out too quickly. I need to stock up on this -only question is how many bottles?

Long meeting with the wine casks
Of anything I've tried with a wine finish this has had the best meeting with red stuff. On first opening the wine aroma dominates. It is dangerously drinkable. Quite similar in flavour to Spey Tenné which is a port finish. Cask strength version would be very interesting but 48% is more than OK. Haven't been tempted to add water yet
