The Glentauchers Distillery is situated in the Speyside, just a few miles from Keith on the road to Craigellachie. There is no visitor center at Glentauchers which may be one reason why the distillery is not very well known. There are very few bottlings of Glentauchers original bottlings as almost all of its production is used for blends such as Ballantine’s and Teachers.
