Claxton’s Spirits started as an independent bottler in september 2015 when they announced a first batch of three single cask bottlings: Glentauchers 1996 , Tobermory 1995 and Tomatin 1994.

Glentauchers 18 yo 1996 (48%, Claxton’s 2015, bourbon barrel #7884, 320 btl.)

Nose: tropical fruits (tinned pineapple, kiwi, unripe nectarine and green banana) with green apple peelings. Watermelon bubblegum. Hints of vanilla latte. Gets quite floral / fragrant after a while, which mingles with a rather up-front varnishy side, which resembles some old grain whisky. Minty notes too. Mouth: sweet and fruity, lots of apples, peaches, pineapples… Grapefruit zest....
