Duncan Taylor Single Cask Sherry Cask Glentauchers 2008 14 year old, 53.8%

Price: 130 Issue: Spring 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Roasted nuts, honey, vanilla, dried cherry, plum, citrus peel, and white pepper on the nose, but the fruit is somewhat restrained. Initially, there are flavors of fruit chews and tangy citrus peel as the cask-strength alcohol peaks, falling back to reveal flavors of honey, marzipan fruits, apple, and nutmeg, with candied peel on the dry spiced finish. A splash of water brings out sweet butterscotch candies and stone fruits with the citrus peel.
