Glenturret, 31 Jahre alt, 1990, alt und selten

Glenturret Distillery, established in 1775 on the picturesque banks of the River Turret at Hosh, north of Crieff, proudly stands as one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries within the esteemed Highland whisky region. Renowned for its traditional craftsmanship, Glenturret maintains a unique production process where the mash tun is hand-stirred using a long-handled wooden paddle, and the distillery operates with just two small stills, making it one of the smallest Highland distilleries. This meticulous approach results in exceptionally smooth and characterful single malt Scotch whiskies, which are released in a limited range of official bottlings. Additionally, Glenturret’s premium whiskies are highly sought after by independent bottlers such as Signatory Vintage and the MacPhail’s Vintage Collection series, further enhancing its reputation among whisky enthusiasts and collectors. Formerly home to The Famous Grouse Experience, Glenturret Distillery now thrives under the ownership of Lalique, continuing its legacy of excellence and tradition. Visitors to Glenturret can immerse themselves in the rich history and artisanal whisky-making process, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic Highland whisky experience.
