RangeThe only official bottlings of Glentauchers have been in the Chivas Cask Strength Series - available in their distillery Visitor Centres, and occassionally in specialist retailers. As with many other distilleries in the area, Gordon & MacPhail have been producing semi-official bottlings for some time.
In September 2017, Chivas announced that they would be releasing 15yo expressions of the three malts that are the heart of the Ballentine's blend - Glenburgie, Miltonduff and Glentauchers. A few other independent bottlings are also available, but the vast majority of the spirit is destined for blending - principally in Black and White blends in the past, though under current ownership Ballantine's and Teachers.
