Glenallachie 14 Years Cask Strength. Image courtesy Chivas Brothers. This expression is only available at the Chivas Brothers visitors centers at the Glenlivet, Aberlour, and Strathisla distilleries in Speyside, along with limited online sales in the UK only. The nose reminds me of honey-lemon candies or cough drops, along with hints of clove and caramel. The taste is mouth-tingling and aromatic with notes of butterscotch, honey, lemon, black tea, creme brûlée, and toffee. The finish is very long, aromatic, dry, and citrusy with touches of vanilla and butterscotch. A little bit of water adds notes of green apples on the palate. (May, 2015)
