Description
This 15-year-old offering from The Glenturret Distillery brings maturity and richness to the Highland region in a compelling manner.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Distilled at The Glenturret in Perthshire, Scotland—often cited as Scotland’s oldest working distillery—the 2024 release of this 15-year-old single malt was matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, as well as American oak barrels. The use of both renewal European-oak (sherry) and American-oak (bourbon) influence gives it a complex backbone of dried fruits, vanilla, wood spice and resinous texture. It is bottled at 50.8% ABV, non-chill-filtered and in natural colour, underscoring a commitment to quality and authenticity.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Invites with rich aromas of raisins, sultanas and dried cherries, layered with sweet-vanilla cream, ginger and burnished oak.
- Palate: Full and textured; candied fruits and dark dried fruit compote meet woody spice, brandy-snaps and a gentle resinous warmth. The interplay of American and European oak brings both bright sweetness and deeper dried-fruit richness.
- Finish: Long and satisfying—sweet wood spice evolves into deeper burnished oak tones with lingering dried fruit (fig, raisin) and a softly warming spice note in the background.
