- Description
- Glentauchers, a traditional Speyside distillery known for manual production methods, produced this 17-year-old via That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Batch 2, released in 2016 as part of their transition to age-stated bottlings. The long maturation in ex-bourbon casks has developed the distillery's characteristic elegant, grain-forward character with subtle orchard fruit and vanilla notes. Expect a clean, medium-bodied texture with gentle spice and a dry finish. This is an excellent introduction to classic Speyside craftsmanship for those seeking refinement over intensity.
