2025-03-15
Smell
Right from the start, it's clear that this whisky is a more refined and complex version of the Triple Wood. Cinnamon and oak set striking accents, accompanied by dark berries and a hint of dark chocolate. An inviting graininess adds warmth, while vanilla provides a subtle creamy sweetness.
Taste
The initial impression is wonderfully creamy, followed by a pronounced spiciness. The oak imparts a pleasant depth, while cinnamon and sugar resemble an intensely dark, caramelized pastry. Dark currants bring a fruity note, well-balanced by a light acidity. Overall, a powerful and well-structured taste that skillfully blends spice and sweetness.
Finish
The finish remains pleasantly soft and subtly oak-driven. A warming note runs throughout, accompanied by fruity sweetness and a distinct cinnamon spice. Light spice notes add a fine complexity, while the balance between wood and fruit remains intact.
Thoughts
The Glenturret 12 Years 2024 is the more mature and refined version of the Triple Wood. It shows remarkable maturity, is well-rounded, and carefully balanced with attention to detail. The stronger spice and more intense fruit notes give it character, while the creamy structure keeps it accessible. However, this quality is reflected in the price, which might be a bit steep for some. But for those who appreciate mature, spicy, and deep whiskies, this one will not disappoint.
