Glentauchers Single Cask #900234 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2003 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery warmth and sunlit shimmer, subtly edged with mahogany—the rich, sherry-influenced hue of a mature Speyside single cask.

Nose

From Glentauchers' single cask, a sherry-driven bouquet unfurls with figs, prune and raisin, edged by dark chocolate and cocoa. Orange zest, toasted almond, and baking spice mingle with vanilla-oak, while the 56.2% ABV lends a syrupy warmth that hints at a dense, luxurious palate to follow.

Palate

On the palate it unfolds with a lush, oily texture, delivering rich dried fruit and dark chocolate from the sherry cask. Raspberry and cherry notes mingle with fig and caramel, layered with burnt sugar, cinnamon, and clove spice. The high ABV lends a racy warmth, carrying a long, resinous oak and coffee-nut finish that lingers with a touch of cocoa and polished leather.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherry-soaked fruit—raisin and fig—juxtaposed with dark chocolate, toasted spice, and a whisper of leather. Cask-strength warmth lingers, easing into a velvet, cocoa-dusted sweetness.
