The Tantalus Teaninich 1973 Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 40 Years - Cask No. C20236

Distilled in 1973 and matured for 40 years, this is one of the rarest single malt expressions ever released from Teaninich — a Highland distillery that almost never appears under its own name.

The Duncan Taylor Tantalus is a collection reserved for Scotland's most exceptional whiskies: single malts and single grains matured for 30 years or more in premium oak casks previously holding Bourbon, Sherry, or Port. Each expression is bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration, and without added color — an uncompromising commitment to authenticity.

This release is presented in a hand-blown glass decanter, housed in an elegant Tantalus crafted from the very oak casks that matured the whisky. Exclusively designed for Duncan Taylor, it is as much a collector's object as it is a whisky.
