Glentauchers 'Infrequent Flyers' 2012 / 12 years old 56.3%

This 12 year old from the Glentauches distillery is a cracking example of American oak maturation, with a final 4 year finish in a virgin oak barrel. With a highly concentrated flavour of coconut, rum baba and foamy banana sweets, the new wood shows its distinctive influence. Initially quite spicy, the sweet intensity of the cask becomes vanilla'd and rich with creme brulee and Demerara sugar.
