Glenturret 2020 Maiden Release Peat Smoked Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old
Out of stock
Peat smoke has long drifted through Glenturret's history. In years gone by, peat featured heavily in distilling traditions and records show Glenturret used peat dug from Octhertye Estate in the early 1800s. The distillery produces peated and non-peated spirit at different times of the year from the same small stills. This has allowed them to craft this mellow, sweet, smoky 10 years old single malt that shows its character off to the full at a strength of 50%.
Smoke from the peat fire envelops. Fresh citrus fruit, vanilla, and light spice drift from the embers with hints of sea salt and smouldering heather.
