Glenturret Distillery is one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, with a history that traces back to 1763. Located in Crieff, Perthshire, it has been central to the country's whisky-making heritage for over 250 years. Originally involved in illicit whisky production, it became officially licensed in 1818 under John Drummond and was later named after the nearby Turret River by Thomas Stewart in the mid-19th century.
Glenturret ceased production in 1921, due to the effects of Prohibition in the United States and the economic depression. However, the buildings survived, and the distillery was revived in 1959 by James Fairlie, making it one of the first to offer visitor tours. In 1990, it became part of Highland Distillers, contributing to the production of The Famous Grouse blend. French luxury group Lalique acquired the distillery in 2019.
The Glenturret Triple Wood 2025 is an inviting dram, effortlessly delivering a crisp, sweet and softly spiced introduction to Glenturret's range of whiskies. The fruitful new make spirit has undergone a balanced maturation in American and European Oak Sherry seasoned casks and Bourbon barrels. The considered combination of wood styles, celebrates both the origins of the distillery flavour and the diversity of the maturing oak character. A welcoming and versatile single malt.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
