Bottlings

Older Glenturrets have a reputation of being soapy. This wonderful dram has just the tiniest hint of it, where it acts rather as a spice than as a flaw. – Rating: 89/100
August 6, 2012
Quite a nice daily dram with a pleasant flavour profile, a slightly longer finish would have lifted it to the 80 point mark. – Rating: 78/100
April 14, 2010
A very enjoyable fruity dram with a good measure of aromatic spices. – Score: 84/100
