SCOTLAND

$1560.00 Dozen
ABV: 43%
From prolific Independent bottlers, Gordon and Macphail, this is the first ever Glenturret to hit our shelves!
The distillery, which claims to be one of Scotland's oldest, offers a number of official age statement bottlings which, to our knowledge, have not yet made it to Australia. The malt makes up a large component of the Famous Grouse blend, and more recently the distillery produced some batches of peated whisky for the Black Grouse blend. Undoubtedly a novelty - even for seasoned whisky lovers - this sherry influenced malt was matured from 2000 to 2015. Jim Murray described the previous release (1999) as "One for those looking for a very different dram". Tasting note: Copper / brass appearance. Interesting scents of dried hops, ginger ale and hints of spent match in the opening sniff. Second pass sweetens the bouquet slightly adding lucerne mulch and later, dried fruits. Quite nutty, oily, peppery malt with ginger, hay and more toffee and gently bitter dark chocolate evolving in the aftertaste. Closes a little short. Different and difficult to pin down. 43% Alc./Vol.
