Glentauchers 14 Year Old 2008 Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish - Benchmark (Murray McDavid)
Glentauchers
Tasting Notes
This 14-year-old Glentauchers single malt whisky from Murray McDavid's Benchmark collection is a delightful treat for sherry lovers. Aged in an oloroso sherry cask, it unveils a symphony of flavors that tantalize the senses. On the nose, it captivates with aromas of caramelized biscuits, rich caramel, spiced fruit, and candied nuts. The palate is a delightful dance of marmalade and liquorice, complemented by sultanas and honeyed dates, with hints of maple syrup and peppery oak providing depth. The finish lingers with a velvety mouthfeel, offering notes of oily, buttery malt, dried citrus, a touch of cacao, and a zesty root ginger finish. With only 262 bottles released, this 2008 vintage from the unassuming Glentauchers distillery is a rare gem that showcases the transformative power of sherry cask maturation.
