Only 207 bottles were filled to celebrate FC Whisky's 25 years in the trade – an exclusive Adelphi bottling of Glentauchers that shows the distillery's full complexity when allowed to stand alone as a single malt.
Expert's Description
Glentauchers 15 Year Old Adelphi Selection is a powerful single malt whisky, carefully selected by Adelphi – one of Scotland's most respected independent bottlers. Glentauchers is known for its soft, fruity and floral character and is otherwise used primarily as a key component in popular blends.
The whisky has matured in a used bourbon cask, giving it a well-balanced flavour profile with notes of vanilla, honey and caramel from the American oak casks. The bourbon cask's influence rounds off the whisky's natural sweetness and adds subtle spice, coconut and a hint of citrus. Bottled in only 207 examples to celebrate FC Whisky's 25 years in the trade.
