Product details
From Scotland’s oldest working distillery comes a historic release: limited to only 150 bottles worldwide, the Glenturret 50 Year Old by Lalique, an extraordinary Highland single malt that embodies half a century of quiet maturation and artisanal dedication. Distilled on the 25th of February 1972 and laid down in a refill sherry cask within the cool, earthen-floored Dunnage warehouses, this whisky has been left undisturbed for over five decades. Every year has brought deeper complexity and richness, evolving in tandem with the world beyond the distillery walls. Crafted using the same traditional methods that have defined The Glenturret’s legacy since its founding, this once-in-a-decade expression is a heartfelt homage to generations of craftspeople whose passion has been passed down by hand, not automation. From the enduring presence of the original Porteous Mill to the handwritten brewing journals beside the Mash Tun, this release captures the soul of a distillery unchanged by time.
The Glenturret 50 Year Old is presented in a magnificent black crystal decanter, specially designed by Marc Larminaux, Artistic and Creative Director of Lalique. Inspired by barley—the lifeblood of whisky—the decanter features a tactile, frosted motif hand-carved by Lalique artisans in Alsace, France, using black crystal, the rarest and most complex form of crystal to produce. The whisky itself, bottled at natural cask strength (40% ABV), displays a rich antique oak hue and is unchill-filtered to preserve its full character. On the nose, it opens with sweet aromatic candy layered over hints of fresh apple and warm honeycomb. The palate is elegantly textured with subtle green oak, syrup sponge, dates, and dried prunes, culminating in a delicate touch of aniseed and lingering aging oak—a luxurious reminder of its fifty-year journey. This ultra-rare expression is a collector’s masterpiece, to be admired, contemplated, and, above all, savoured.
