GLENTAUCHERS BACKGROUND This ex-bourbon Glentauchers single malt whisky, & her sister an ex-sherry Glentauchers, are like Lindsay Lohan in The Parent Trap; born on the same day, but grew up in different surroundings. Although the Glentauchers sisters were made 2 years before that movie came out; which that makes us feel old! These two whiskies show what long-term maturation does in Sherry & Bourbon casks. &, trust us, in this case it’s done different & wonderful things to these delightful scotch twins.  Check out the sister cask here.
