Another big blending beast it may be, but the Glentauchers single malt whisky distillery in Speyside has found some loyal fans over the years thanks to a regular string of bottlings, particularly by Gordon & MacPhail.

While there are not too many other Glentauchers whiskies available, independent or otherwise, the ones that do exist showcase a distillery with a fairly interesting fingerprint and one that is very good for contemplative friendly dramming, at times when modesty and full flavour are required in a whisky. Glentauchers is usually tasty without requiring too much brainwork to get through a glass or two.
