Malt Of The Month July 2023 - Glenturret 12 Year Old
Our Malt of the Month is the Glenturret 12 Year Old
Fewer than sixty carefully selected casks come together to create The Glenturret 12 Years Old - crafted by hand and forming the heart of the distillery's range. American oak hogshead casks drive the dessert like sweetness whilst European oak layers the dried fruits and spices leading to a full rich single malt.
Tasting Notes
The Glenturret whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno says you can expect: "Caramelised apples, creamy soft vanilla custard. Fruit pie with a cinnamon glaze topped with a drizzle of caramel. Maturing oak introduces itself much later."
Bottled at 46% vol, natural in colour and non-chill-filtered.
In the very first episode of our podcast, back in April 2020, we spoke to Jamie Morrison, brand ambassador at the Glenturret Distillery in Crieff in Perthshire.
