Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with warm honey undertones and a sun-lit, glossy sheen.
Nose
Velvety vanilla and gentle oak frame a honeyed orchard-fruit bouquet—ripe pear and golden apple—bright citrus zest and a whisper of coconut. Subtle spice and almond lend polish, evoking Speyside elegance with creamy sweetness and restrained warmth.
Palate
Silky and refined on the palate, this Glentauchers delivers vanilla cream and honeyed toffee from its ex-bourbon cask, woven with smooth oak and a hint of coconut. Orchard notes of pear and green apple appear mid-palate, joined by a gentle spice that lifts the sweetness. A beautifully balanced, mouthwatering Speyside experience at 48%.
Finish
Long, luxurious finish that unfolds with rich vanilla and caramel from the ex-bourbon cask, fading into creamy oak and a whisper of spice. Subtle orchard fruits linger, joined by toffee and a kiss of almond, delivering a warm, polished sweetness that lingers.
