Glentauchers 15 Year Old 1997 cask 3854 The Maltman

Glentauchers 1989 Cadenhead - Small Batch 25yo

So now Asta...

Glentauchers 1990

There are mediocre whiskies, there are bad whiskies. Unfortunately we ventured back into the bad territory, with a whisky that for the time being has the dubious honour of being the penultimum single malt whisky on my list. Only second to the Drumguish of the Speyside distillery, a harsh verdict indeed. Nose: waxy and salty structure: apple buns...
