- Description
- Glentauchers' official 12-year-old bottling from the 1980s is a rare snapshot of how this Speyside distillery expressed itself before modern standardisation. The distillery character would lean toward lighter, floral notes typical of the region, with any official bottling of this era reflecting the cask quality and proof decisions of its time. Without additional information about cask type, the precise flavour profile remains opaque. This bottle appeals to Speyside historians and collectors documenting the distillery's archival releases.
