- Description
- Glentauchers' 1989 vintage, aged 31 years in a single barrel and bottled by independent bottler Blackadder in 2021, represents a Speyside whisky of considerable maturity and individuality. Extended barrel aging has concentrated the spirit's character, building complexity from the ex-bourbon cask influence and the Speyside distillery's inherent orchard-fruit character. At 41.3% ABV, the whisky retains enough vibrancy to express both age and distillery identity without excessive oak dominance. A collector's piece for those drawn to single-barrel, long-aged expressions.
