Glentauchers 25 years 1996 - 2021 Mission Gold
If you enjoy refined whisky with a unique twist, this Glentauchers 25 Years from Murray McDavid’s Mission Gold series is a must-try. Distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2021, it spent most of its life in bourbon hogsheads before being finished in a first fill Madeira cask from Justino’s, one of Madeira’s most prestigious producers. Bottled at 45.5% and limited to just 555 bottles, this is a rare and elegant release with real depth.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Gentle aromas of honey, tropical fruit and vanilla lead the way, followed by ripe peaches, orange blossom and a touch of toasted nuts. The Madeira finish adds a hint of grape sweetness.
Palate
Creamy and smooth with flavours of stone fruit, toffee and soft spice. The sweetness from the Madeira is perfectly balanced by citrus brightness and subtle oak.
Finish
Long and layered with notes of marmalade, sultanas and light oak. A whisper of almond and a winey elegance linger beautifully.
Een whisky die finesse combineert met exotische flair – voor de avontuurlijke whiskydrinker met een zwak voor iets bijzonders.
Glentauchers Distillery
Glentauchers Distillery is located in the Speyside region, near the town of Keith in Moray. Founded in 1897 by James Buchanan & Co., Glentauchers has a rich history of producing high-quality whiskies. The distillery is located in a picturesque setting, surrounded by green hills and access to pure water from nearby springs.
A unique feature of Glentauchers is its use of long fermentation and distillation processes, contributing to a lighter and fruitier spirit. Glentauchers whiskies are known for their delicate and complex flavour profiles, with notes of apple, pear, citrus and subtle floral accents. The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a smooth and balanced flavour.
Although Glentauchers mainly produces blended whiskies, such as the famous Ballantine's, their single malts are also highly prized for their finesse and depth. The combination of an idyllic location, traditional production processes and high-quality whiskies makes Glentauchers a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
Murray McDavid
Murray McDavid is an independent Scottish bottler founded in 1994 by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Gordon Wright. The company is known for its innovative approach to whisky, focusing on selecting high-quality casks and experimenting with unique maturation processes.
Murray McDavid bottles whisky from different distilleries, both single malts and blended malts, and often introduces secondary maturities in different types of casks, such as wine, rum or sherry casks, to create complex flavour profiles. They have several series such as "Mission Gold," "Benchmark," and "Cask Craft."
An important aspect of Murray McDavid is their focus on transparency. They provide detailed information about the origin of the whisky, the casks used and the ageing time, which makes them popular among connoisseurs and collectors. In 2013, Murray McDavid was acquired by Aceo Ltd, which expanded their ability to continue producing unique whiskies. Murray McDavid's bottlings are often praised for their quality and the creative way they combine traditional whisky techniques with modern innovations.
