Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour at 57.1% ABV, it’s a dram that oozes sherried richness and structure, showing off this distillery’s lesser-seen character with unapologetic intensity.

Glentauchers 16 Year Old 2009 Exceptional Cask - 100 Proof Edition #11 (Signatory) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Molasses and fruitcake leap out of the glass, followed by earthy walnuts, dark raisins, and hints of cigar box. There's also a splash of treacle and some burnt orange peel lurking beneath.

Palate: Chewy sherry-soaked fruits, cocoa nibs, spiced plum compote, and old oak furniture. There's a flash of peppery heat and ginger that livens things up.

Finish: Lingering and rich, with liquorice, roasted coffee beans, and toasted almonds riding out on a wave of spicy warmth.

Distillery Information

The Glentauchers whisky distillery was founded in 1897 by W P Lowrie, a Glasgow-based whisky trader, and James Buchanan, a renowned blender. Five years later, Lowrie experienced financial hardship and James Buchanan subsequently bought him out. The distillery was built at Tauchers Farm, four miles west of the town of Keith. The location was chosen for its proximity to a rail line and main road. Indeed, the Glentauchers distillery boasts its own railway siding. The distillery was designed by a Keith-based architect, John Alcock, and the construction was directed by the famed Charles Doig, an Elgin-based architect who was instrumental in the design of many Scotch distilleries. James Buchanan merged with Dewars in 1915 and during the 1920s the distillery went through considerable renovations. This included the rebuilding of the mash house and floor maltings. The newly formed Buchanan-Dewars merged with Distillers Company Limited in 1925 and five years later the distillery was transferred to Scottish Malt Distillers. During the 1960s, further stills were installed, bringing the total capacity to 3.4 million litres per annum.
