Coming Soon - 2012 Signatory Vintage Glentauchers 12 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #18 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Glentauchers’ has always gone into lighter blends, initially Buchanan’s and Black & White, and these days Ballantines. This bottling turns Glentauchers on its head. If fat sherry is your thing, it's the 100 proof for you. Admittedly, the distillery character might be a bit lost, but sometimes that's the trade-off when you want a bomb. Expect a mouth full of thick and oily Oloroso, raisins and overripe fruit, balanced with some mild spices. A whisky to remind us what decent quality should sell for. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... This is a whisky that doesn't convince at first sip. It requires some work, some water and a little time. But that's actually what we as nerds are looking for. Even then, it won't be an outstanding whisky - but it is a delicious whisky that is easy to drink and that you can experiment with a little. And it is a whisky that is absolutely worth its price. - whiskybase.com

...Inviting nose, in part due to the vibrant fruits interplaying with the sherry casks. Those fruits are more subdued on the palate, otherwise I would've liked this even more. But overall this Glentauchers from the Signatory 100 Proof range is a flavourful single malt. It swims well and I wouldn't be surprised if it develops nicely a few months after you've opened the bottle. - wordsofwhisky.com/
