Glentauchers 100 Proof Edition #8, bottled by Signatory Vintage, is a remarkable Single Malt that stands out for its intense peat smoke and an unusual strength of 57.1% ABV.
This strength is not chosen at random; it corresponds to the historical “100 Proof” in the British measurement system, indicating that alcohol-soaked gunpowder can ignite at this concentration. This edition marks the beginning of a new series from Signatory, characterized by high alcohol strength while also offering excellent value for money.
Nose Juicy, ripe pears and apples drizzled with honey combine with buttery oak and delicate notes of vanilla.
Palate The juicy fruits continue with a sprinkle of sweet spice. Honey and cinder toffee sweetness balance peppery oak warmth.
Finish Fruit from the orchard lingers until the end with a dusting of cinnamon, sweet malt, and caramel.
