The Glenturret 10 Year Old Peat Smoked Single Malt Scotch Whisky 48.4% 700ml
Tasting Notes
The Glenturret is Scotland's Oldest Operating distillery, producing some of the finest spirit in the Highlands, tracable all the way back to 1717.
A slow, concentrated production process that nets less than half a million litres a year, with long fermentation in wooden washbacks and a single pair of hand-beaten stills that produce a fruity, complex new-make spirit, which is then aged in a mixture of American & European oak casks under the watchful eye of Robert Dalgarno, ex-Macallan Master Blender.
Over the last few years, The Glenturret has had a renaissance under new ownership, quickly becoming one of the most desirable premium Single Malts on the market, with exceptional quality whisky that is often compared to Macallan.
Crafted exclusively from peated spirit matured in a marriage of American and European oak casks, smouldering peat is balanced with rich, dried fruit notes.
The whisky’s smoke-filled character is complimented with a long and warming finish that promises resonant oak tones that add further depth and complexity on the palate.
A more intense peat than the milder 7 Year Old, this whisky smoulders with vanilla and dried fruits. Figs, dates and warm christmas spices, as well as a delightful fusion of sweet peat that warms the back of the palate.
As of 2026, Glenturret is no longer producing distilling peated single malt, meaning that in a few years, this release will be discontinued, leaving current editions as sought after collectors items.
