Glentauchers reviews

I’ve heard people pronounce the name of this distillery in many different ways, but apparently ‘Glen-toch-ers’ is the only correct one. It was founded near Keith, in the heart of Speyside, in 1897 by…

Glentauchers is not really a big name, is it? This Speyside – founded in 1897 – creates mostly filling malt for blends like Black & White, Ballantines, Teachers and Chivas Regal. Official bottlings?…

This is not the first Glentauchers bottled by Asta Morris, although the previous release was a lot older (and bottled for the Japanese importer Gaia Flow). This young one from 2009 was drawn from a PX…

This Glentauchers (say 'glen-tock-ers') was bottled by the German Indie Whisky-Fässle and released in 2014. After reading these notes, you will agree that it was a good thing that this single bourbon…

There are mediocre whiskies, there are bad whiskies. Unfortunately we ventured back into the bad territory, with a whisky that for the time being has the dubious honour of being the penultimum single…

I have not yet tried that many Glentauchers and those that I have tried were somewhat hit & miss. An 11 Year Old from the Creative Whisky Company was fish nor fowl while a 16 Year Old from G&M left me…
