Glenturret have since changed over their core lineup, I look forward to reviewing one of them soon!

Glenturret 10 Years Old (Old Bottle)

Glenturret 10 Years Old / 40%

Tasted neat

There is very little here on this bottle besides “Glenturret 10 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky”, aside from the following marketing statements:

  • Scotland’s Oldest Working Distillery
  • By Hand and by Heart
  • Product of Scotland
  • Small Batch

Let’s see how it tastes!

  • Color: russet (e150a)
  • Nose: ethanol, green apple, some stewed plum; honey, nail polish
  • Taste: light and floral; pastry crust, osmanthus, vanilla, and jasmine
  • Finish: long, some honey, cut grass; and ginger

The nose has a few off notes, but is not largely unpleasant; on tasting it is well-bodied and somewhat oily, with a light and floral character. Compared the “Sherry cask” batches that came out previously that I tried, this is a very respectable Highland malt and they’re really turning quality around!

Rating: 5/10
