Nose: Inviting aromas of cherries, blackberries, and strawberries, accompanied by notes of chocolate, pastry, and a subtle wood spice.

Finish: Long-lasting, with recurring berry aromas and a subtle hint of cinnamon.
Distillery/Bottler: The Glentauchers Distillery, founded in 1898, is located in the heart of the Scottish Speyside region. Known for its fruity and aromatic whiskies, it makes a significant contribution to blends like Ballantine's. This whisky was bottled by Langatun Distillery AG, a Swiss distillery with over 150 years of tradition. In 2005, Hans Baumberger III revived the vision of his great-grandfather and began producing the handcrafted Langatun single malts.
