Color

Pale straw

Nose

Very promising! Clear oak, but not excessively. Something of wax and graphite. Very light fruity and slightly citrusy.

Taste

First, yet again, the lemon and then almonds, with a slightly bitter(but nevertheless) perfect result. The fruit is extremely subtle present. With three drops of water the whisky gets more body; more spicy, with grapefruits and some "heavier" smelling lemon.

Finish

Long, with 'nice n sweet', slightly spicy flavor. When the glass is almost empty I suddenly smell the grapefruit again!

Comments

Very special whisky, actually an enrichment of my collection bottles. *****

Color

Pale gold

Nose

Warming with a fresh floral component (heather), fresh green pepper and the smell of dried apples. In the fore there are pleasant oaky and vanilla notes. A little varnish as well. Really nice nose!

Taste

Warming and a little light considering the age. The presence of the oak is even stronger than on the nose but not unpleasant. Vanilla. Spicy with ginger, fresh green and jalapeno pepper. Slightly sour as well, reminding of Swabian must (made from must apples).

Finish

Long and spicy with a moderate and pleasant oakyness.

Comments

My first Glentauchers and a very good whisky indeed.
