The Glenturret 12 Years Old (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:

The true heart and soul of our range of whiskies. Crafted with utmost care and expertise, this remarkable spirit embodies the essence of tradition and refinement. Fewer than sixty carefully selected casks come together to create The Glenturret 12 Years Old – crafted by hand and forming the heart of our range. American oak casks drive the salted caramel sweetness whilst European oak layers the dried fruits and spices leading to a full rich single malt at 46.4% ABV.

Tasting Notes:
