90pts Angus @WhiskyFun.org: "Colour: light gold. Nose: ahh, you just cannot beat a plain cask and time! This is a really lovely and elegant mix of beeswaxes, pollens, heather honey, tea biscuits, light olive oil, mushroom powder and earthen floored cellars. It also has this lean, waxy side to it that I associate as a very ‘Glentauchers’ thing. A few glazed and crystalised fruits as well. With water: opens beautifully. More towards canvas, hessian cloth, dunnage, clay and a little orange peel now. Mouth: Pow! Big, peppery, sappy, oily, waxy, surprisingly herbal and sooty! Really terrific delivery and evolution on the palate. Some earthy turmeric, ripe green fruits and spiced mead. With water: once again, water works wonders. Lots of nervous green, citrus and white fruits. Pears baked in honey, ripe banana, apple crumble with spiced custard and more supple waxiness. Really terrific. Finish: long, earthy, waxy, gently peppery and tingling. Lots of green apple, lemon peel, olive oil and a little camphor. Comments: I had it at 89 but water elevates it to a solid 90. A real gem of a Glentauchers!" SGP: 561 - 90 points.
