Distillery/Bottler: The Glentauchers Distillery was founded in 1897 by James Buchanan and W.P. Lowrie and is located in the Speyside region near Mulben, Scotland. Known for its role in the production of blended whiskies, particularly for brands like Ballantine’s and Black & White, Glentauchers produces about 4.2 million liters of alcohol annually. Although most bottlings are used for blends, single malt bottlings like this one are rare and particularly valued.
