Undoubtedly good whisky, especially the pricing of this brand is not to be blamed. But, but... I somehow didn't fall on my ass, it just seems to me that every new year these whiskys get weaker and weaker. It reminds me of rum cask finish sweet tones in the taste, mild acidity and soft woodiness. At the end, a metallic aftertaste remained on my tongue, which slightly repulsed me....

Quick hit review. I did not mind the old Flintstone label, but yes, this new presentation looks much better. Fruity, malty and almost biscuity, the nose emphasizes pastries, strawberries and wood spices. It is very harmonious and rounded. The palate unfolds with raisins, dates and more berries before dark chocolate, marzipan and soft herbal notes chime in. This is dangerously drinkable. Sweet grapes, vanilla and gentle tannins subside in the medium-length finish. I am not disappointed, this is everything that GlenDronach should be (don't get me started)! RATING: 3.7/5.0 stars ≙ 85 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE [+]

...it was obvious that several different casks were used – including red wine? I'd almost swear to it! In any case, they've created a very sophisticated 12-year-old that also boasts a breathtakingly dark color...it may not be complex, and the alcoholic peaks in the flavor are undeniable, but for 12 years old, it's quite good...

For a core range 12YO and at this price point this is not only a good whisky but good value.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос87There is some red sherry fruits here, but this is certainly not a bomb. With a bit restrained fruit the sweetness is neither too much. It's very chocolaty. Spicy exotic wood, soft tobacco, leather. The alc is not intrusive but can be sensed.
Вкус88Sweetness more noticeable here, with a light zest. And lots of good wood spices. None too hot, it's just right. But again it's so chocolaty, very dark chocolate. Black cherry jam.
Финиш89Past medium, close to long. It just fades slowly on the palate notes. Orange chocolate and thick red jam. When the spice resides there is still a good residual sweetness.

The nose is very fruity. Dark fruits, a forest fruit basket, and of course, sherry. The taste is initially very strong, briefly sweet, and then fruity. Pure sherry on the finish.
Greenranger Member Senior 85 09 apr 2026 12:44 am
I believe this would be a perfect malt if it was 10 years old. With 12 years the cask slightly took over the distillate. Still a wonderful dram and I always enjoy it, but it takes effort to detect the maltiness, the barleysugar and the subtle grain notes in the heavy mix of nuts, fruits and sherry. For me Edradour 10 has the edge over this

One of the most balanced whiskies I have tried. This whisky has nothing to envy compared to others that are older. It says 46% ABV, but the alcohol is not so present as you would expect for such a high ABV. The whisky in the beginning is so smooth and embraces your tongue so well and gives you one of the best mouthfeels you can get from this kind of whisky. The aftertaste is there with a bit of bitterness but also sweetness as well. It has medium duration. Overall, this whisky is the most balanced I have tasted yet and can deal pretty well with older whiskies. It has nothing to envy, and if anyone says it is 15 years old and not 12, you will believe them.

I love a "Christmas Cake" whisky and really wanted to like this. Yes, there's a strong fruit and sherry nose and taste, but the whisky is really harsh and hot. This unpleasantness overpowers the taste and it's just not good. It was better the second weekend - the oxidisation has levelled it out somewhat. £50 the bottle? "Best single malt"? No. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but isn't that what QC Dept is for? I'm still tempted by an older vintage to see if it's smoother, but there's feeling of the Emperor's New Clothes here.

Nose: A bright, rich, sweet, dried-fruit-balsamic aroma with a vinous acidity. Lush, fresh dried fruits such as prunes, sweet figs, dates, dark raisins, and dried apricots. Balsamic sauce, burnt sugar, a sulfurous note, a slight mustiness, chocolate with nuts and raisins, rum baba, sweet spices, and strong tea. Palate: juicy, bright, and rich. Rich dried fruit liqueur, balsamic sauce, sulfur, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, orange zest, and oak tannin astringency. Finish: Sweet dried fruits, cinnamon, cloves, balsamic vinegar, and tart oak finish. Balance: a bright, rich, bold, dessert-style sherry whisky of a new style. Very tasty, sweet, and full-bodied, albeit without much depth or complexity. Active casks completely dominate the distillate in shaping the flavor and aroma profile. If you enjoy this style of whisky, you'll definitely love N22, P22, F21, and B22.

A designer (and dessert) whisky that can't quite hide its youth and suboptimal spirit, yet is still okay to drink. In a way, it’s lipstick on a pig, even if it‘s a really high-quality lipstick.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос76Pretty okay overall, but behind all this cask wizardry it does display a faint spirity character that I'm familiar with from less-than-optimal batches of the 10-year-old CS. Whereas some of the cask-strength versions make you wonder if there might be some older juice into the vatting, you don't think that here. It's a perfectly inoffensive young sherried nose, but the sample certainly does not inspire any desire to go out and buy a bottle. It feels to me as if the cask influence here is supposed to mask the deficiencies of the distillate.
Вкус79Here the different components come together more nicely. Very sumptuous, rich and sweet, forming a well-executed impression of dark chocolate. Reminding me of the recent Velvet Fig 12 in that way — but not nearly as classy. I guess the character of the distillate (that only comes through in flashes) really is not my cup of tea. Noticeably spirity and scattered, with the badly-integrated alcohol as a major distraction.
Финиш83Big notes of praline, fudge, and mousse au chocolat, with touches of molasses, cinnamon, and raisins. Someone once said that Billy Walker designs his whiskies with the finish as the biggest priority, and you can totally believe that when you try this. Pretty good for such a young whisky — but a boozy, alcoholic vibe remains.

Glenallachie's current 12-year-old standard bottling. Besides PX and Oloroso, virgin oak is also present. The color is correspondingly dark with reddish-brown hues. This bottling will typically be available for just under €50 by mid-2026. glen-efze.de

An absolutely delightful Scotch. Very balanced, complex and exceptionally drinkable. I’m used to GlenAllachie’s 10 Year Old and other cask-strength releases, so at 46% this feels slightly light for my palate; if I could change one thing, I’d give it a little more intensity. That said, it is still impressively rich and full-flavoured, and I can completely understand why many people would find it delicious. For me, this is a near-perfect daily-drinking whisky: easy to enjoy, but with enough complexity to remain interesting. Colour: Deep brown.

Really sweet on the tongue, but becomes too sweet for more than a glass. The finish is a bit disconnected from the palate. Abruptly becomes a bit sour and ever so slightly metallic at the end. I can enjoy a glass of this whisky occassionally.
2ndSip Connoisseur 83 16 mar 2024 10:53 am
[I have to test it again - it has a strange alcoholic bourbon-glue note.] Tjo, modern sherry malt. It's well made, no question, but it can't really pick me up. I'm a little missing that special thing that you remember - if you ignore the typical GA 'spiciness'. In short: a generic 12 year old sherry malt for “simple” enjoyment. [86 - 82 = good whisky -> get (second) bottle? Maybe...] the sample is enough for me - bottle/print design or not, the content is "generic". This strange note of glue in the nosing deducts another point [stays the same]. [Post-test: the adhesive note is no longer as strong, but is still there; I still find cinnamon and nutmeg, otherwise the same... no significant changes]

Overall, this is a well-made whisky. The sherry aromas are truly delicious and will make you want to quickly indulge in a second dram. However, in my opinion, the fresh casks are also very noticeable, which keeps giving me the feeling that there must be some virgin oak casks involved. This taste of fresh wood significantly lowers the whisky's rating in my opinion.

On the nose, quite dark and spicy with subtle fruit notes of red grapes and raisins. The palate is also very dark with strong notes of baked plums, dark cherries, and blackberries. I detect the sweetness of maple syrup and caramel, leading to burnt sugar and the bitter notes of charred wood. Various baking spices, pepper, and light hints of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and almost a touch of leather are also present. Similar to its big brother, the GlenAllachie 15-year-old, the 12-year-old is an exciting, very dark and robust whisky with a distinct sherry influence. Both bottlings share the same character, although the 15-year-old is even more complex and refined. I enjoyed both.

The 12-year-old is the distillery's flagship product and was even awarded "World's Best Single Malt" at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards. Such an honor naturally raises expectations – not only regarding quality, but also character, depth, and distinctiveness. Perhaps that's why my standards were set particularly high.
нос · вкус · финиш
Нос83The nose reveals classic sherry aromas: raisins, toffee, honey, and a hint of orange zest. These are followed by notes of milk chocolate and a moderate oak spice. Everything seems neatly composed and technically well-executed, but I find it lacking a distinctive edge or a particular depth that would clearly set this whisky apart from many other sherry-style whiskies.
Вкус83On the palate, sweet dried fruits, caramel, and a hint of cocoa. The texture is decent, but not particularly viscous or powerful. For a sherry whisky, it remains surprisingly restrained. It comes across as round and agreeable, almost tame. Complexity and development in the glass are present, but rather in the background. It lacks excitement and that moment that says: This is exceptional.
Финиш82The aftertaste is medium-long, sweet and spicy, and fades away relatively quietly. No off-notes, no harshness – but also no lasting impression. Conclusion: The award at the World Whiskies Awards 2025 underscores that objectively, many things have been done right here. It's well-made, approachable, and attractively priced for a sherry malt. Nevertheless, I personally can't share the overwhelming enthusiasm. For me, it remains too bland and lacks character to consciously choose it when I want to treat myself to something special.

The Glenallachie 12 is exactly what you'd expect from this distillery: sherry! It's a successful standard bottling, offering everything you'd expect from a sherry-dominant whisky: dark fruit, wood, chocolate, and a touch of tobacco. It's not outstanding, but very solid. And it doesn't aspire to be anything more. It's Billy Walker, after all.

Нос85A sherry-like character right from the start. Plums, figs, and raisins. Malt is noticeable. Sweetness and a touch of acidity complement each other. Very well-rounded and pleasant; alcohol plays no significant role.
Вкус86Dark fruits, such as plums, figs, and raisins, also dominate the flavor. Cherry jam combines fruity sweetness with slightly tart notes. There's also a hint of wood spice, herbs, and menthol. More bitter notes emerge, including chocolate, walnut, a touch of tobacco, and a pinch of white pepper. The flavor alternates between sweetness and these more bitter tones.
Финиш85The finish leaves behind sweet plums and raisins, along with wood spice and nutty notes. It is medium-long and pleasant.

"This acclaimed unpeated Speyside single malt is a drinks cabinet staple that showcases our independent approach. Our flagship bottling is founded on our core philosophy: exceptional wood is key to creating superlative whisky. With satisfyingly complex yet perfectly balanced flavours of sweet spice, dark roasted coffee, stewed apples and cocoa powder, it's a full-bodied whisky that can be enjoyed your way. We proudly present The GlenAllachie 12-year-old with integrity; at a high strength of 46%, without added colouring or chill filtration, allowing the quality to speak for itself." Overall I think this whisky changed. And FOR ME it changed for the better. I really enjoy the new flavor profile that it offers. With that said, this is still a whisky that I might not re-purchase. It is good, but not that good. I will give this whisky a solid 85 / 100. I think it is worth a try, and it is a great whisky for non-beginner whisky drinkers. For the price you get a complex and layered whisky. Enjoy it.

COLOR: Chestnut, dark amber - an excellent "standard" 12 years - phenomenal quality for the money - great taste - significantly different (better) in taste and smell than the 2018 bottling - at 50€ the price is fully worth it

A wonderful sherried whiskye from Glenallachie. If you like sherry matured whisky, this is a great one. One of the best in the class. For the price of 45 GBP, it's a catch.

Tried 10/26 in Baden, the second dram of the evening, and was immediately impressed. A beautiful balance between sweet dried fruits and spicy notes from the wood. Quite intense, too.
