A 1996 hogshead cask of Glentauchers, bottled as a 25-year-old by those thoroughly decent gents at Berry Brothers & Rudd, whose refined palates have the priceless knack of picking out special casks from unsung distilleries.
Glentauchers 1996 hogshead #3977 is a delicious melange of fruit, spices and varnished wood, but sadly the cask yielded just 73 bottles - so if you fancy one of these you'd be well-advised not to hang around.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose is initially floral, with walnuts, wax varnish and oak jostling for position. A little water brings out more balanced heather honey, honeysuckle and pear drops.
Palate: The palate is an explosion of sweet, ripe fruits; apples and melon with cinder toffee and strawberry jam showing on the back palate.
Finish: Spicy ginger and nutmeg linger on the finish. An excellent aged Speyside.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
