Detailed Description
The Glentauchers is a Speyside Scottish whisky distillery founded in 1897 by James Buchanan (the creator of the ‘Black & White’ and ‘Buchanan’ blends, not the 1850s U.S. President) and whisky trader W. P Lowrie of Glasgow. Lowrie didn’t last long in the mix but the distillery and its spirit continued, primarily for use in blends. It was mothballed by United Distillers in 1985, and then sold to Allied Distillers in 1989. Allied was later acquired by Pernod Ricard. Whisky from this distillery is rarely released in the single malt format, with the only recent example being an official bottling of a 15 Year Old released in 2000.
