Glenturret 12 Year Old

Nose:
Aromas of spiced sultanas and fig compote rise first, followed by hints of orange marmalade and clove. Underneath, delicate floral honey and polished oak add a layer of refinement, with a trace of antique leather rounding out the bouquet.

Palate:
Rich and velvety on the palate, with prominent notes of stewed plums, dark toffee, and Demerara sugar. Sherry-driven spice—cinnamon stick, nutmeg, and a whisper of black pepper—builds mid-palate, balanced by a touch of zesty orange oil and roasted almond.

Finish:
Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit, bitter cocoa, and a gentle oaky dryness. A faint echo of spice and fruit persists, leaving a well-integrated and contemplative afterglow.

Overall Impression:
The Glenturret 12 Year Old is a masterfully balanced single malt, where the richness of European oak sherry casks meets the distillery’s elegant spirit. It’s a whisky of depth and character, ideal for those who appreciate complexity wrapped in subtlety.
