This single cask bottling of a 25-year-old Glentauchers single malt was produced by the independent bottler Hart Brothers Glasgow in the Single Cask - Cask Strength series. The whisky was distilled in 1996 and bottled at cask strength in 2022.
The Glentauchers distillery is located between Keith and Rothes and was built in 1898. Its name means valley of the wind and it is probably one of the lesser known distilleries in Scotland. Almost the entire production is used for blends.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
