Glentauchers is one of our favourite, lesser talked about drams! It is a Speyside but with heavier, heartier character so we are super excited about this one finished in a Pineau des Charentes cask! Pineau des Charentes is a sweet aperitif or desert wine from France that adds the syrupy peach notes to this dram! Distilled in 2013 then reracked into the Pineau cask in 2023 then bottled almost a full year later in 2024. Fruity, sweet, rich peachy dram, hence the peaches on the label this time.
Tasting Notes:
Colour - Haribo peach sweets that melted on your car dashboard
Nose - Apricot jam on buttered wholegrain toast.
Palate - Peach cobbler, the expensive ice-cream where you see the wee black dots of vanilla in it, white tea.
Finish - well done creme brulee, tinned peach juice, rye spices.
