About the Label (Larger Label Under Tasting Note)
"They do things traditionally at Glentauchers. They haven't always been so suspicious of new technologies, however, as the scene on this label depicts… Glentauchers was a distillery that experimented with 'silent malt' at the beginning of the 20th century - that's malt whisky made in column stills. Revolutionary, eh? Unless, as it turned out to be the case, it's just not a 'thing'. Oops."

G&M Distillery Label Glentauchers 2007
$104.99
The days of Glentauchers being an under-the-radar lil gem are well behind us. And while it's still far from a household name, it's definitely a distillery that has started to turn a few heads. Most of the 'tauchers we see on the market comes from the warehouses of indie bottlers, but this 2007 from G&M is as close to an official bottling as it gets. Many years back, Gordon & MacPhail locked down contracts with a handful of distilleries that allowed them to release semi-official bottlings under the Distillery Label series. Despite an ever changing spirits landscape, G&M have managed to hold on to these key relationships. A wee tip from KWM: these bottlings are always worth tracking down.
We especially love the bump up to 46%. Well done, folks. Matured in Refill Sherry Hogsheads.
Natural colour and non chill-filtered.

A.D. Rattray Glentauchers 10 Year 59.4%
$99.99
There was a time when A.D. Rattray sagged the shelves here. Sadly, we see much less of it that we once did, but we did just have a small influx of very cool releases from some of our favorite distilleries. Like this Glentauchers.
In one of the most unprecedented displays of transparency we've ever seen, the front label says this 10-year-old was matured in Sherry Butt #423 before being finished in an ex-GlenAllachie Sherry Butt. Seems we're tiptoeing up to blended malt territory, without quite crossing that line. But the real question is: did ADR look at this name-drop as a marketing tool, as in 'come on...you folks know Billy Walker (GlenAllachie owner) and how good his casks are'? Hard to be sure, but this is an odd declaration on a label, to say the least. Think it's fair to say everyone loves Billy's Butts?
