The Glenturret Distillery, nestled in the picturesque Perthshire countryside, is Scotland’s oldest working distillery, with a rich heritage dating back to 1763. Its legacy is steeped in traditional methods and a dedication to quality, making it a cornerstone of Scotland’s whisky history. From humble beginnings as an illicit still to its recognition as a producer of exceptional single malts, Glenturret has remained true to its roots, crafting whisky with passion and precision. The distillery’s small-scale production ensures that each cask is given the time and attention it deserves, creating whiskies that are distinctive and full of character.
This release uses a mixture of different cask types, predominantly American Oak, which lends a pronounced smoky character, while European Oak imparts rich, sweet fruit notes. Refill casks enhance the purity of the peated new-make spirit, bringing out vibrant citrus aromas and evolving into a layered palate of sweet, fruity flavours with an elegant smoky finish.
