Single Malt Whisky, Scotland/Speyside
This is a 19 year old Glentauchers single malt. It was made by muddling together a 2002 1st fill barrel of Glentauchers with a 2005 1st fill sherry butt of Glentauchers.
The barrel got tipped in on top of the butt nearly two years ago, half that mix was bottled as Whisky Sponge Edition No.82 about a year ago, and now, it is time to bottle the remainder of this mix. As such, here is Glentauchers 19 year old Decadent Drams!
It was bottled with a very slight reduction from cask strength at a bottling strength of 57.1%. After an extra year in the sherry butt, with loads of headspace relative to the volume of whisky, the result is a hugely juicy and well-sherried, properly mature Glentauchers. Full of fruits, rich sherry notes, spices and waxiness.
Decadent Drinks :
“It’s despicably, decadently delicious stuff, and you should buy one for yourself and another for yourself and one for a pal. And one for your cat. Buy a cat if you need to in order to undertake that final instruction.”
