Glenallachie GLENALLACHIE 12yo Official Bottling 40% ABV 1980s Circulation The aroma has a deep old character, with dried fruits like apricot and orange, rock candy, rich maltiness, and slightly earthy old peat. When drinking, it has a soft, penetrating texture, floral notes of orange and violets, sweet mellow flavor reminiscent of rock candy, savory maltiness, and a clean finish. 【Good/Very Good】 This is the official 12-year-old Glenallachie from the 1980s circulation. The old character is clearly present with minimal signs of deterioration, and the sweet notes of concentrated fruits and rock candy-like richness are evident both in aroma and flavor. As a classic old official standard, the deep maltiness that lingers on the tongue was a pleasant impression, and the bottle showcased a clean sense of aged depth.
