Get to know: The Glenturret 12 Year Old Single Malt 2024
A refined and elegant Scottish single malt whisky from the Highlands, showcasing classic craftsmanship and beautifully balanced flavour.
Tasting Note
The Glenturret 12 Year Old is a classic Highland single malt that’s all about balance, texture, and quiet confidence. Rich amber in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of honeyed malt, baked apple, vanilla, and a gentle lift of citrus peel. On the palate, it’s smooth and rounded, with flavours of toffee, orchard fruits, soft spice, and a subtle oak warmth that adds depth without overpowering the fruit. The finish is long, silky, and gently spiced, leaving notes of sweet malt and creamy vanilla. This is a beautifully put-together Highland single malt whisky that rewards slow sipping.
Top food pairings:
- Roast chicken or turkey with herbs
- Soft, creamy cheeses such as Brie or Camembert
- Apple tart or shortbread
Kate Says
