Proof: 110.2

The 1989 GlenAllachie Sherry Butt Single Cask 29 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare gem that exemplifies the mastery of traditional Scottish whisky-making. Aged for an impressive 29 years in a carefully selected sherry butt, this single malt embodies the essence of time-honored craftsmanship and the rich heritage of Speyside. With only a limited number of bottles produced, this 700ml release is a true collector’s item, exclusive to those who appreciate the depth and complexity that can only come from decades of patient maturation.

On the nose, the whisky immediately captivates with a rich and inviting aroma. Waves of dried fruits—think raisins and figs—mingle with notes of dark chocolate, warm spices, and a hint of polished oak. The influence of the sherry butt is evident, infusing the spirit with a luxurious sweetness that promises an indulgent experience.

As you take your first sip, the whisky reveals its full character. The palate is opulent and complex, with layers of flavors that evolve with each moment. The initial sweetness of treacle and toffee is beautifully balanced by the robustness of sherry-soaked oak, creating a harmonious interplay of sweet and savory. Subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper add depth and warmth, while a delicate undertone of leather and tobacco leaf speaks to the whisky’s maturity.

The finish is long, smooth, and utterly satisfying. It lingers on the palate with a pleasing warmth, leaving behind traces of rich fruitcake, dark chocolate, and a whisper of spice. This is a whisky that invites contemplation, offering a luxurious journey through layers of flavor and aroma that only a spirit of this age and quality can provide.

The 1989 GlenAllachie Sherry Butt Single Cask 29 Year Old is a testament to the art of whisky-making, a true masterpiece that embodies the richness and depth of Speyside. Available exclusively at Jazzy's, this exceptional release is a must-have for any serious whisky collector or aficionado.
