GlenAllachie The Sinteis Series Part III 2014 French Virgin Oak & Oloroso  Sherry Cask Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

"Two distinct casks. One harmonious synthesis." Sinteis — pronounced sin-teesh — is Scottish Gaelic for "synthesis," and that's exactly what Billy Walker has achieved with this extraordinary limited-edition series. Part III is the third release in The GlenAllachie's most adventurous chapter yet, and arguably its boldest. Distilled in 2014 and matured for 11 years, this expression pairs French Limousin virgin oak — sourced from the forests of central France, medium charred, medium toasted, and air-dried for 15 months — with the rich familiarity of Oloroso sherry casks. The wide grain structure of Limousin oak encourages deep interaction with the spirit, delivering honey, orange peel, and gentle spice, perfectly counterbalanced by the dried fruit, dark chocolate, and warming depth of Oloroso sherry. Bottled at cask strength, with natural color and without chill filtration. A limited-edition release. Once it's gone, it's gone. TASTING NOTES - Nose: Orange zest, nutmeg, and dried orchard fruits, with honeycomb, maraschino cherries, mocha, and crystallized brown sugar - Palate: Heather honey, spiced orange, and baked apple, followed by winter truffle, muscovado sugar, and cinnamon, with hazelnuts and mocha - Finish: Long, rich, and warming with lingering oak spice and sherry depth
