James Buchanan and W.P. Lowrie, both influential whisky merchants, established the distillery in 1897. Built during a period of rapid growth in Scotch whisky production, Glentauchers was designed by the renowned distillery architect Charles Doig. The distillery aimed to supply quality malt whisky for Buchanan’s popular blends, including Black & White.
Despite its promising start, Glentauchers experienced periods of closure due to market downturns. In 1936, Buchanan-Dewar, Glentauchers' then-owner, merged with the Distillers Company Limited (DCL), later becoming part of Diageo. Glentauchers continued to produce whisky primarily to contribute to iconic blends like Ballantine’s and Teachers.
In 1985, DCL mothballed Glentauchers. Allied Distillers revived and restarted the company in 1989 after acquiring it. When Pernod Ricard later absorbed Allied, the distillery joined the Chivas Brothers portfolio.
Formed in 1988 by Andrew and Brian Symington, the Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky Company offers a great range of small batch independent bottlings. They bottle one cask at a time, capitalising on the unique colour and flavour characteristics of each individual cask. They source all-natural malts from the best distilleries in Scotland, selecting the best single batches and bottling only the finest casks within those batches.
This bottling is apart of the Signatory Vintage 100 Proof range. Matured for 12 years in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry butts. Bottled at 57.1% ABV, an un-chillfiltered single malt, with no added colouring.
Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
