2006 Glenturret 12 Year Old "Old Particular" K&L Exclusive Single Sherry Hogshead Cask Strength Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Notes

After a rocky history of on again off again production, Glenturret, one of Scotland's smallest distilleries, settled into the portfolio of The Edrington Group - owner's of The Macallan and Highland Park, among others. With this change in ownership so too came a change in the destiny of Glenturret as a single malt. In 2002 Edrington transformed the distillery into The Famous Grouse Experience. While there are official distillery releases of Glenturret, the vast majority of their production goes into the Grouse blends and, if this single cask here is any indication, The Glenturret accounts for much of the lovable richness and intensity of that famous blend. In a full cask strenght of 62% and at a perfect 12 years of age, this malt is all caramel, cream, toffee, and treacle. Add a bit of water and chew a while on the rich body and sweet spice.
