LBD Spirits Glentauchers 2013

Notes from the Bottlers:

Glentauchers 2013
Only 285 Bottles produced.
Distilled 27/05/13 – reracked 28/07/23 – Bottled 11/07/2024; nearly a full year in a Pineau des Charentes barrique.
Fruity, sweet, rich peachy dram – hence the peaches on the label this time.

“Why we did what we did with this whisky – We love Glentauchers. If we were in a position to buy any Speyside distillery, which by the way we’re not, then we’d buy Glentauchers. This cask was originally good, spirit mature whisky, but it lacked character or depth. Something a good wood finish would help.
We paired it with the Pineau des Charantes sweet dessert wine cask to add fruit and richness.”
