Glentauchers 26χρονος Chorlton

Another brilliant release from South Manchester-based independent bottler, Chorlton Whisky. Chorlton love whiskies that exhibit balance and finesse and this long-aged gem distilled at Glentauchers is no exception. The distillery's profile is adored by Chorlton and this is one of 6 Glentauchers releases they've bottled. 

Bottler's own tasting note: 

A perfect summery Speyside drop for you here! The nose has pink grapefruit, strawberry gummies and masses of pollen-heavy yellow flowers, with touches of cider, buttery cereal, olive oil and green herbs. The palate is lightly waxy and herbal, balancing tart and sweet fruits (green apple, pineapple, banana, Juicy Fruit gum) before a clean honeyed and citrussy finish.

Exemplary fruity Speyside spirit, this, with a bit of backbone and the age and strength feeling just right.

This barrel only produced 157 bottles at a cask strength of 51.5%
