- Description
- Glentauchers is a closed Speyside distillery, and this 20-year-old independent bottling from 1996 captures the distillery's characterful spirit in its final years of operation. Aged for two decades, the whisky develops layers of orchard fruit and subtle oak influence typical of refill cask maturation. The extended aging brings soft, mature notes and a silky mouthfeel that rewards patient tasting. This is a bottle for collectors seeking rare examples of a defunct Speyside producer.
