Glentauchers 10 yo (2008/2018), Mossburn - Vintage Casks, 46%

Glentaucher’s Mossburn Vintage Casks is a vintage whiskey distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2018.

The Mossburn Vintage Casks range is a collection of Single Malt Scotch Whiskeys that are from a strictly limited and select batch of casks. Each release is individually numbered, which means that the number of bottles varies, and although this means we can never replicate the special character of the Single Malten, it gives us an opportunity to try, an extraordinary whiskey made by one of Scotland’s most significant distilleries. This selected single malt has been bottled without dyes or chill filtration.

In the north-east corner of the Spey region near the town of Keith, lies the Glentauchers Distillery. The distillery has several substantial stone buildings with two traditional pagoda roofs. They have six pot stills and six wooden washbacks.

Tasting notes on Glentaucher’s Mossburn Vintage Casks:

Smell: A solid salty malt scent, spices instead of flowers and a little oaky vanilla
Taste: Rich and oily with distinct traces of dried fruits
Finish: The tannins dance quietly off the tongue in the finish
