The Glenturret 10 Years Old Peat Smoked (2023 Release)

Glenturret, often referred to as Scotland’s oldest working distillery, traces its origins back to 1763. Nestled in Crieff, in the heart of Perthshire, the distillery is celebrated for its artisanal approach to whisky-making, relying heavily on traditional methods. Its small production scale and commitment to hand-crafted processes have garnered it a loyal following among whisky enthusiasts. The distillery’s visitor experience is enhanced by its scenic location, the integration of a Michelin-starred restaurant, and its close ties to the Lalique Group, which has infused a touch of luxury into its branding and packaging.

From the Producer:

Celebrating the evolution of flavours from our barley, spirit and casks. Peat features heavily in our distilling history – records show that The Glenturret dug peat from the mosses at our water source for whisky production in the early 1800’s. The Glenturret 10 Years Old Peat Smoked celebrates the varying sources of peat now procured for our smoky whiskies. The smoke flavours are constantly evolving and changing through time. Our peated spirit style is matured in both first-fill and second-fill European and American oak casks. The resulting whisky forms a complex single malt that commands a higher strength of 48.4% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

DARK SMOKE from a newly lit fire, SWEET CITRUS and VANILLA. SALTED CARAMEL leads into SMOKY WOOD SPICES which drift into the distance.
