Colour - Haribo peach sweets that melted on your car dashboard
Nose - Apricot jam on buttered wholegrain toast.
Palate - Peach cobbler, the expensive ice-cream where you see the wee black dots of vanilla in it, white tea.
Finish - well done creme brulee, tinned peach juice, rye spices.

Why they did what they did with this whisky - LBD love Glentauchers, if they were in a position to buy any Speyside distillery, which by the way they're not, then they'd buy Glentauchers. This cask was originally good, spirit mature whisky, but it lacked character or depth, something a good wood finish would help. They paired it with the Pineau des Charantes sweet dessert wine cask to add fruit and richness.
