Single Cask Club - Tasting Notes

February 2023

Month 15


Well January went in a bit of a flash, hopefully not too many of you were doing anything too silly like dry January and you all managed to tuck into your drams.

This month we got a couple of cool drams I think, a mainstream and something a touch different.
Dram 1 - Badachro - Bad-na-h-achlaise - Rum Finish

A non-aged statement un-peated highland whisky in first-fill Caribbean dark rum casks. A total of 1300 bottles at a bottle strength of 46% ABV natural colour and non-chill filtered. 

The look of the spirit gives little away, do not let this deceive you! It opens with great orange peel, vanilla fudge and pineapple on the nose with deeper notes of tropical fruits like mango and banana. On the palate pineapple appears more with a great citrus, lemon sponge sweetness which leads you gloriously to the marmalade finish. Lingering to more sweetness and great toasted oak character.  
on the shelf price - £57
Single Cask Club price –10% is £51.30. A great bottle at that price.

Dram 2 - Glenallachie Wine Cask Finish Cuvee 9 Years Old

This comes from the wonderful Glenallachie, in the form of their latest release the Cuvee Cask Finish. Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2022 this 9-year-old was bottled at 48% after being aged in ex bourbon barrels before a secondary maturation in European Red wine Barriques from a mixture of 4 different reds – Bordeaux, Languedoc & Valpolicella. 

On the nose its very classic red wine finished whisky with lots of red fruits, maraschino cherries, orange blossoms, cinnamon, and some slight chocolate notes. The palate is coated in the most wonderful warm dark chocolate and cocoa with a touch more orange zest and a great liquorice bite which wraps the side of the tung. The finish is muscovado sugar, softer milky chocolate, and a great length.  

Bloody good. £55 on the shelf. Take off your 10% it is £49.50.
