The Glenturret 12 Year Old 2025 Release 700ml 46.2% ABV with Box | A rare single malt from Scotland's oldest distillery

The Oldest Tradition Meets Lalique Aesthetics. A Rare 12-Year-Old Crafted by a Former Macallan Master

"The Glenturret 12 Year 2025 Release" is a highly rare Highland single malt Scotch whisky that, despite being a core bottle in The Glenturret lineup, attracts keen attention from whisky enthusiasts worldwide. In the past, the distillery primarily supplied new make spirit for blends, so its true value as a single malt had limited opportunities to shine. However, in 2019, with the change of ownership to the French luxury crystal house Lalique Group, it was brilliantly reborn as a luxury single malt brand.

Key Highlights (A Master Craftsman Who Knows Macallan Inside Out and the Oldest Distillery)

The Glenturret Distillery, documented as early as 1763, is Scotland's oldest operating distillery. Inheriting this grand history, the legendary craftsman Bob Dalgarno, who served as master distiller at The Macallan and knows everything there is to know about it, took on the role of Head of Production (Whisky Maker).

Through traditional long fermentation and a slow distillation process in uniquely shaped stills, the base new make spirit is luxuriously concentrated with fruit sweetness. In recent years, the distillery has continued its relentless pursuit of quality improvement, including the introduction of a state-of-the-art mash tun.

Tasting Notes (A Luxurious Layering of PX and Oloroso Sherry Casks)

This 12-year-old beautifully harmonizes the distinct characters of PX (Pedro Ximénez) Sherry casks and Oloroso Sherry casks, further complemented by spirits matured in American and European oak.

• Nose: Caramelised citrus fruits, rich vanilla, and cinnamon. Intense dried fruit notes emerge later, delicately accented by gentle wood spice.
• Palate: Layers of sweetness reminiscent of salted caramel from American oak, and dried fruit and spice flavors from European oak.
• Finish: Ginger, nutmeg, and a fragrant, gently toasted oak flavor transition comfortably into a warm, lingering finish.

Historical Anecdote (Towser, the World's Number One Whisky Cat)

An indispensable part of the distillery's history is the legendary whisky cat "Towser," who caught 28,899 mice in her lifetime and was famously recognized by the Guinness World Records. She remains a beloved icon of the distillery worldwide, symbolizing its long history and warm craftsmanship.
