Little Brown Dog, Glentauchers, 2013, Pineau des Charentes Cask Finish, 58.9%
・ ・ ・
Distilled 27/05/13 – reracked – 28/07/23 Bottled 11/07/2024 – nearly a full year in a Pineau des Charentes barrique.
Fruity, sweet, rich peachy dram, hence the peaches on the label this time.
Colour – Haribo peach sweets that melted on your car dashboard
Nose – Apricot jam on buttered wholegrain toast.
Palate – Peach cobbler, the expensive ice-cream where you see the wee black dots of vanilla in it, white tea.
Finish – well done creme brulee, tinned peach juice, rye spices.
Why we did what we did with this whisky – We love Glentauchers, if we were in a position to buy any Speyside distillery, which by the way we’re not, then we’d buy Glentauchers. This cask was originally good, spirit mature whisky, but it lacked character or depth, something a good wood finish would help. We paired it with the Pineau des Charantes sweet dessert wine cask to add fruit and richness.
As always, natural colour, cask strength and never chill filtered.
