Glentauchers 17 YO - Ballantine's Signature Distillery, 40 %

Released in 2014 this was the fourth and last in the Ballantine’s Signature Distillery series. It was released for Travel Retail in Asia

Nose: Spicy and a bit oaky. There is a slight alcohol bite to it.

Taste: Smooth and cool, with medium body. Rich in spices - white pepper, cinnamon the most dominant. Nuts and vanilla. Milk chocolate.

Finish: Medium long finish. Tapers off a bit too soon. Mild and borderline timid all the way. Milk chocolate and mild spices towards the end. Hints of malt and camphor in the end. Some oakiness.

Comment: A relatively anonymous dram. Does not really stand out in any way, but it is decent.

Score 80/100
