Glentauchers 16 years 2009 - 2025 100 Proof Exceptional Cask #11

This is another stunning addition to the much-loved Signatory Vintage 100 Proof Exceptional Cask range. This Speyside single malt has matured for a whopping 16 years on first-fill Oloroso sherry butts, giving it a deep colour, rich aromas and a sumptuous taste experience. Bottled at 57.1% and non-chill filtered, this whisky gives everything you would expect from a serious, sherry-aged dram.

Tasting note

Nose

Rich and layered with notes of raisins, dark chocolate, stewed red fruits, and a hint of candied orange peel. Subtle touches of clove and walnut round it off beautifully.

Palate

Full-bodied and intense with prominent sherry influence: think plums, dates, mocha, and a trace of old leather. The 57.1% ABV is well-balanced and adds warmth without overpowering.

Finish

Long and satisfying with lingering notes of oak, cocoa, and warming spice like cinnamon and nutmeg. A proper sherry cask powerhouse with elegance and depth.

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.
