Product details
The Glenturret Distillery, established in 1763, stands as Scotland's oldest working distillery, renowned for its dedication to traditional whisky-making techniques. The 2021 release of The Glenturret 30-Year-Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky exemplifies this commitment to craftsmanship. This exceptional expression is crafted from a selection of four casks: European Oak, Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, and Port Pipe, each contributing unique characteristics to the whisky's profile. The maturation process imparts a harmonious balance of flavors, resulting in a whisky that is both complex and refined.
Upon nosing, the whisky presents inviting aromas of cinnamon sticks and ginger, intertwined with burnished oak and dried fruits like soaked raisins and sweet sultanas. The palate is greeted with bold wood spices that dance alongside citrus and dark fruit notes, while subtle hints of aniseed and liquorice emerge, embraced by soft sweet oak on the finish. With an ABV of 40.6%, this 70cl bottling is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its full spectrum of flavors. Its rich and layered profile makes it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as roasted game, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts. Released in July 2021, this expression pays homage to The Glenturret's long and distinguished history, offering whisky enthusiasts a chance to experience the essence of time in a bottle.
