Glentauchers reviews

I’ve heard people pronounce the name of this distillery in many different ways, but apparently ‘Glen-toch-ers’ is the only correct one. It was founded near Keith, in the heart of Speyside, in 1897 by…

Glentauchers is not really a big name, is it? This Speyside – founded in 1897 – creates mostly filling malt for blends like Black & White, Ballantines, Teachers and Chivas Regal. Official bottlings?…

This is not the first Glentauchers bottled by Asta Morris, although the previous release was a lot older (and bottled for the Japanese importer Gaia Flow). This young one from 2009 was drawn from a PX…

Asta Morris is now also being enjoyed in the Land of the Rising Sun? Yep, there is no limit on Crazy Bert’s ambitions. And rightfully so. His bottlings (bar one or two exceptions) are always of the…
