Description
Glentauchers is a Speyside Distillery near Keith that was established in 1898. This pale straw-coloured Glentauchers was matured for 12 years in its original first fill Bourbon barrel. On the nose, aromas of Barley sugar, shortbread, fresh lemon zest and creamy malt. The palate shows lemon posset, spicy oak, buttery brioche and pear drops, with a gentle toasted oak spice and ripe pear finish. There is nothing complicated about this – just ‘Tauchers at its very best.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
