Aged in first-fill sherry (25%) and bourbon (20%) casks and in hand-selected second-fill casks, the 15-Year-Old celebrates the contrast and harmony resulting from the marriage of these casks.
Nose: Hazelnut and smoke, accompanied by malty sweetness and ripe fruit. Then come apricots in syrup, ripe pear, malted vanilla reminiscent of cracked barley, crème brûlée and sweet honey. The smoky peat note is discreet but nevertheless quite present. This evokes shoe polish and leather and earth.
Mouth: Soft and mellow, comes the heavily roasted malt reminiscent of smoked muesli with fruit and honey. Then come smoked apricot jam, crushed barley, peat, burnt heather, citrus and redcurrant. With a drop of water, its smoke and elegant minerality become stronger, offering a magnificent counterbalance to its sweetness.
Finish: Sweet with earthy flavors, followed by a smoky, spicy and herbal note.
Nose: Glentauchers Decadent Drams 19 yo reveals fruity notes of caramelized apples and ripe pears, accompanied by subtle aromas of oak and vanilla. Feel: On the palate, this whisky reveals intense flavors of tropical fruits, honey and sweet spices, with a velvety texture and nuances of nuts and caramel. Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and dried fruit for a rich, balanced conclusion.
Nose: Burnt honey, barley sugar candies, very rich and intriguing. Maraschino cherries burning on a campfire, or red apple peel alongside rich cigar smoke.
Mouth: Malty, rich with an intensity of dark red berries. Genuine notes of cherry and cranberry with a touch of spice.
Finish: More spice, but with a salty sea note right at the end… truly refreshing.
