- Description
- This 1979 Glentauchers represents an old Gordon & Macphail bottling from Speyside, capturing the distillery's character at bottled strength and standard ABV. Gordon & Macphail's 1990s releases were typically aged in refill casks, allowing the spirit character to dominate over oak influence. The whisky provides an unadorned view of Glentauchers' distillery style — understated and elegant Speyside. Suited to enthusiasts of traditional, cask-aged Scotch from a quieter era of bottling.
