About

A substantial Speyside distillery near the town of Keith, built in 1897 by James Buchanan (of Buchanan's/Black & White fame). One of the most anonymous major Speyside distilleries -- almost entirely dedicated to blending, with virtually no official single malt bottlings. The entire output feeds Chivas Regal, Ballantine's, and other Pernod Ricard blends. The spirit is light, sweet, and fruity -- a classic Speyside blending malt character. Independent bottlings from houses like Gordon & MacPhail and Berry Bros have revealed a surprisingly characterful malt that rewards attention. Glentauchers embodies the paradox of many Speyside distilleries: massive production, essential to global whisky brands, yet invisible as a single malt.
