Glentauchers is a distillery most people only know from blends – but this 19 year old single cask bottling from Signatory Vintage shows what the spirit can do when it's allowed to stand alone.
Expert's Description
Glentauchers 1996/2015 was distilled in the mid-1990s and bottled in November 2015 by independent bottler Signatory Vintage, after 19 years of maturation in two bourbon casks, Cask No. #1407 and #1408.
The whisky is bottled at 49.9% with natural colour. 328 bottles were filled from the two casks, making this a fairly limited release.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft fruit, honey and a light vanilla tone from the bourbon casks.

Did You Know?
