About this Woodrow's whisky

This 17-year-old Glentauchers is a confident, full-bodied Speyside single malt from Woodrow's of Edinburgh, released as part of the Warehouse Reserve range and selected by founder Woody Tan. Distilled on 16 October 2008 and bottled on 20 January 2026, it has spent its entire maturation full term in a single sherry butt (cask 901120A).

Glentauchers is a distillery more commonly encountered in blends, where its naturally fruity, weighty spirit provides structure and sweetness. When given time in a quality sherry cask, that underlying character comes to the fore in a particularly generous and expressive way. Full-term sherry maturation allows the spirit and cask to evolve together slowly, rather than relying on a finishing period to add flavour late in the process. The result here is a whisky that feels cohesive, rounded, and deeply integrated.

Bottled at a formidable 63.2% ABV, this is a powerful yet controlled dram, retaining its natural colour and bottled without chill filtration to preserve texture and intensity. Despite the strength, Woody’s tasting notes point to balance rather than brute force: fresh strawberries, toffee, white chocolate, and warm brioche on the nose lead into an oily, rounded palate of caramel, milk chocolate, croissant, ripe fruit, and soft stone fruit. The finish is long and warming, with lingering toffee and gentle spice — ginger and nutmeg providing lift and structure rather than heat.

With an outturn of 304 bottles, this is a serious sherried Speyside whisky that rewards patience and attention. It showcases Glentauchers at its most indulgent and expressive, and reflects Woodrow’s confidence in letting a single cask speak clearly and without compromise.

How much is shipping?

Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying. It's usually more cost effective to ship two or more bottles, particularly for international orders. The perfect excuse to treat yourself to an extra bottle!

What about taxes?

All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.

UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.

We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay. US Customs takes two to three weeks to complete, after which your parcel will arrive at your door as if it were a normal delivery.

For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
