Glentauchers – 17 Years Old 2009 Infrequent Flyers

This is a 17 year old single malt from Glentauchers, a Speyside distillery near Keith. It was distilled in 2009 and bottled by Alistair Walker for his Infrequent Flyers Collection. After maturation it was finished in a single hogshead that previously held Sauternes, the sweet white wine of Bordeaux. The finish adds honeyed, stone-fruit richness to the light, fruity and grassy spirit the distillery is known for. It is bottled at natural cask strength, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring.
