Tasting Notes
From Edinburgh’s esteemed independent bottler, The Whisky Cellar, comes this expressive single cask Glentauchers—one of just 230 bottles drawn from a first-fill ex-bourbon barrel, with a mere 24 bottles making their way to Australia. Known for its rarity as a single malt (with most Glentauchers spirit destined for blends like Ballantine's), this release gives us a true glimpse into the distillery’s malty heart. Classic Glentauchers—vibrant, malt-driven, and richly aromatic.
Nose:
Vibrant and full—bright orchard fruits (pear and apple), creamy malt and lemon zest. Layers of barley sugar and salted butter on warm brioche, with a gentle floral lift of heather and honey.
Palate:
Mouth-coating and well-textured. Bursting with juicy pears and peaches, soft citrus, fresh malt and toasted bread. A honeyed sweetness flows throughout, balanced by a crisp, spicy oak edge.
Finish:
Medium to long. Opens with time, revealing depth and a well-rounded fade of malt, fruit and gentle oak spice.
