The Glenturret Highland 25 Year

The Glenturret 25 Year Old is a pinnacle, limited annual release produced by Scotland's oldest working distillery in Crieff, Perthshire. Reimagined under the joint ownership of the Lalique Group and Swiss entrepreneur Silvio Denz, and formulated by celebrated Whisky Maker Bob Dalgarno, this expression represents the apex of traditional, slow, hand-crafted distilling. Aged for a minimum of 25 years in a bespoke vatting of European oak sherry butts, American oak sherry casks, and select refill wood, it is presented in The Glenturret’s bespoke Lalique-crafted fluted rectangular decanter. Bottled at an optimum strength of 42.2% ABV without chill filtration or artificial colouring, it demonstrates an unhurried maturation where rich dark fruits, dark chocolate, baking spices, and antique oak tannins are harmoniously integrated with the distillery's light, fruity spirit.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with roasted venison with a blackberry reduction, seared duck breast with cherry jus, 36-month aged Comté or vintage Gouda, rich fruitcake, or single-origin 80% dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: An aristocratic, complex, and richly textured single malt delivering notes of dried stone fruits, ginger syrup, bitter chocolate, polished antique oak, and warm baking spices.

Nose: Deep, rich, and sophisticated with aromas of dark raisins, medjool dates, polished mahogany, sweet ginger cake, cinnamon bark, and Seville orange peel.

Palate: Velvety, viscous, and complex on the palate, revealing flavours of stewed plums, dark toffee, dark cocoa, candied orange peel, and warming baking spices balanced by soft wood tannins.

Finish: Exceptionally long, elegant, and gently warming with lingering notes of drying oak spices, dark chocolate, dried fruit compote, and subtle citrus oils.

Serve: Best enjoyed neat in a crystal copita or Glencairn glass. Allow it 15 to 20 minutes to breathe and evolve, taking time to explore its delicate layers of antique wood and spice without dilution.
