Glentauchers 100 Proof Exceptional Cask Edition #11 16 Ans 2009/2025

This Glentauchers Single Malt was released by the independent bottler Signatory Vintage in the 100 Proof Exceptional Cask Series. Andrew Symington founded his company at the end of the 1980s and has always maintained good contact with the distilleries. Today he can call a stock of over 10,000 casks his own. This bottling is part of the Signatory 100 Proof Edition, which no longer only includes high-proof, uncoloured whiskies, but also inexpensive bottlings that have been matured for a long time. The term proof is an ancient unit of measurement for the alcohol content of a drink, especially whisky, which indicates the minimum alcohol content above which gunpowder soaked in the liquid can be ignited. This method was used in the heyday of seafaring to ensure that the casks in the belly of the ship could withstand the harsh weather conditions at sea. The Glentauchers is characterised by its maturation in first-fill Oloroso sherry butts and has benefited from 16 years of maturation, which has made the Speyside malt fruity and sweet with fine cinnamon aromas.
