Glentauchers Whisky

Glentauchers was built in 1897 near Keith, part of the same wave of Speyside distilleries that followed the whisky boom of the late 1800s. For most of its history it has supplied a core component of the Ballantine's blend, while remaining almost nameless to the public. Now owned by Pernod Ricard, Glentauchers remains one of Speyside's best-kept secrets.

  • Bottle of Glentauchers 15 Year Old Adelphi FC Whisky 25th Anniversary
    Item no.: 22227865449-5011

    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.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Fresh pear, apple and flowers, followed by a light creamy character with a hint of spice.

    Palate

    Soft and rounded, with mild oak notes, vanilla cream and light toffee.

    Finish

    Long and elegant, with a pleasant sweetness and lightly spiced finish.

    Item no.: 222355-87995

    The colour resembles Haribo peach candy melted on the dashboard on a hot summer's day – Little Brown Dog found a Glentauchers cask that lacked a bit of depth, and paired it with a French dessert wine to give it life.

    Expert's Description

    Little Brown Dog buys casks from distilleries across Scotland and bottles them under their own brand, always marked with the little brown dog that's the company's signature. This Glentauchers cask was, in their own assessment, a good but slightly characterless whisky, which they chose to pair with a cask from the sweet French dessert wine Pineau des Charentes to add fruit and richness.

    The result is bottled at cask strength, 58.9%, non-chill-filtered and with natural colour. Only 285 bottles were made of this single cask release.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Apricot marmalade on buttered wholegrain bread.

About Glentauchers Whisky

Glentauchers is a Speyside distillery near Keith, historically a core component of Ballantine's blended whisky. For a newcomer, it's a light, fruity, approachable style; for the connoisseur, Glentauchers is interesting because, like several of its Speyside neighbours, it has spent most of its life anonymously inside blends, making the rare official and independent single malt releases attractive finds for the curious collector.

History & Background

The distillery was founded in 1897 by James Buchanan and Peter Mackie as a key source of malt for Buchanan's popular blends. Glentauchers has changed ownership several times throughout its history and is today part of the Chivas Brothers group under Pernod Ricard.

Production & Style

The distillery focuses on a light, floral malt style, ideal for blending, but which also offers character when released as a single malt.

Signature Style

Floral, Light, Elegant
The flavour offers a light, floral character with a hint of honey and a clean, elegant finish.
