This beautiful spirit from Glentauchers distillery has bottled at natural cask strength. Unpeated and matured for it’s full maturation in a single first fill oloroso sherry cask, this is a bit of a cracker.

Yes, yes, yes , we know big sherry cask speysides are often very similar but this one is a little different. The first thing we noticed was a hazelnut aroma and then sultana’s- I think Dana’s question on nosing was “what’s the thing like a raisin, but lighter, like a clear raisin, like a yellow raisin?”.  The most striking difference for me was the apricot jam aroma.

Glentauchers is one of our absolute favourite distilleries in Speyside. It’s always got a bit of character to it and we’ve seen some stellar quality single casks bottled over the years.

This was bottled at natural cask strength and presented at natural colour which is really quite dark!
