| Review #219 |
Allardice
is Oloroso sherry matured. It is named after the distillery’s founder. Lots of
dried fruits at first in the smell. Dates and raisins. In the end some more fresh fruits
appears. I would say a mix of ripe plums, berries and some kind of fruitcake.
Heavy,
heavy dried fruits in the taste. Some sour notes as well… Lemongrass,
orange-peel or something like that, and only in the background. The heavy style
just continuous in the finish. It is like that the heaviness of the dried fruits
overpowers the oaky notes in the taste, but as the dried fruits calms down in
the finish, the oaky notes comes forward.
Quite a
heavily sherried whisky considering that it is only 46 %. It lacks some in the
complexity, but if you are into the heavily sherried stuff, you will probably
make that sacrifice here! I will rate this 87/100 (22/22/22/21).
