Glentauchers 2008/2025 - 17 y.o. - #8546097 - The Octave (Duncan Taylor)

Special features: This 17-year-old Glentauchers was bottled by Duncan Taylor in the renowned "The Octave" series. After traditional maturation in oak casks, it received a special finish in a small Oloroso sherry octave cask, resulting in a more intense aroma development. With a cask strength of 54.3% and a limited edition of only 90 bottles, this whisky presents itself in its purest form: neither chill-filtered nor colored.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe pears and green apples, accompanied by rum raisins and a creamy ice cream note.
• Palate: Full-bodied with flavor notes of whole grain cookies, caramel flan, and gentle spices. A hint of rhubarb, vanilla cream, and mild oak rounds off the tasting experience.
• Finish: Long-lasting and warming, with the cask strength noticeable but not overwhelming. A pleasant, warming sensation lingers.

Distillery/Bottler: The Glentauchers Distillery, founded in 1898, is located in the Scottish Speyside region, near the town of Keith. Although it does not have a visitor center, it is known for producing single malts that are primarily used in blends. Duncan Taylor, an independent bottler from Huntly, Scotland, is known for his careful selection and bottling of single malts, often in limited editions and at cask strength. The "The Octave" series is characterized by the use of small octave casks, which allow for more intense aroma development.
