This review focuses on the second of two exceptional expressions of Glentauchers and this one was distilled in 1996, matured for 22 years in a bourbon hogshead before being bottled at a natural cask strength of 54% in 2019.
So, let's dive right into the review!
The Single Cask Glentauchers 1996 22 Years Old #7846 (54% abv)
Nose: Fruity and light - honeydew and lemongrass, quite floral. Some nutmeg amongst the cereal notes.
Palate: Stonefruits and subtle melon, with hints of chocolate and hazelnut. Fairly delicate, making it an easy-going whisky.
Finish: Long finish, with a lasting balance of fruit and nut flavours. A refined, relaxed dram.
This expression is available for purchase by the dram or as a part of a flight and can also be purchased by the bottle at the following link:
