Alexander Murray 1982 Glenturret 34 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A delightful wee distillery in heart of Strathearn in the Highland region, Glenturret is quaint mix of one of the smallest and oldest distilleries in Scotland. Nested in the rolling hills amongst the trees, it’s hard to argue with its claim to being an age-old site of illicit spirit distillation – as early as the late eighteenth century apparently. Producing very small volumes of whisky for its owner, Edrington, and rarely seen as a standalone single malt, Glenturret has inherited a slightly anonymous identity over the years. Alongside this, the distillery’s simple and unsophisticated setup naturally yields faintly inconsistent spirit character. This makes Glenturret a jamboree of peculiarities and idiosyncrasies that are so interesting to the seasoned malt drinker. Profile of the spirit character dances between light and perfumed, however what’s usually guaranteed is intensity of flavor. Single malt releases are few and far between, and older vintages of Glenturret are particularly rare.

Distillery Information

The Glenturret Distillery is located on the banks of the Turret River two miles north west of Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. The distillery is hidden in the glen and its secluded location may have contributed to its early history as the site of several illicit bothy stills. The high hills to either side of the distillery were thought to act as lookout points for the smugglers. When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery he described the glen as “a perfect paradise to artists, who come in great numbers to transfer some of its transcendent beauties to canvas.” The distillery is located in the parish of Monzievaird and Strowan.
