If you know what you're looking at you will know this sits far below the market. Single malts were rare in these days. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlentauchers is an important single malt for blended Scotch, most recently a named component of Ballantine's. As such, it is rarely seen in single malt form. Over the years, some bottlings were officially licensed to Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail, and 2017 saw a distillery bottling launched under the Ballantine's banner along with a Glenburgie and Miltonduff. Prior to that, enthusiasts were limited to seeking out independent bottlings like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail were producing official bottlings under license in the 1970s, each distillery was labelled using a specific branding determined by their parent companies, such as DCL, Hiram Walker or Highland Distillers. By the 1980s, single malts were increasing in popularity and Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail began to create a “house label” for every distillery, each with its own unique style, as is presented here. Although no longer the licensees, Gordon \u0026amp; MacPhail still produce bottles like this for many distilleries today, renamed in 2018 as their Distillery Labels range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNose: vanilla, Seville orange, fried banana, baked apples and pineapple \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePalate: red apple, poached pears, roasted cashew nuts, grapefruit, toasted oak and white pepper throughout\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e40% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is not to be purchased by anyone under the age of 18 or drinking age in their country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe reserve the right to ask for your identification should it be necessary to do so.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glentauchers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54687042830661,"sku":"00155","price":599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4297264269.jpg?v=1746549297","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/glentauchers-1979-gordon-macphail-1996-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
