64.1% ABV
Dram
Nose: Peat, orange peel, chocolate, smoke, white grapes, tar, sea salt. With water, leather, salt caramel, sour cream.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, hot, tingly, astringent, mouth coating.
Tasting: Sour salty. Smoke, peat, green walnuts, chocolate, orange peel, vanilla, tar, sea salt, hints of lemon zest. With water, saltier, lemon zest, sea salt, malted grains, sour cream.
Finish: Short. Green walnuts, orange peel, chilli flakes, lemon zest.
Comments:
This is a hearty, high strength peaty Glenturret. It’s not a whisky I’m very familiar with, but this one was unusual even so. It’s a very unbalanced style, lots of oddly clashing flavours, salty, sour and sweet at the same time. But it works, I think.
Verdict:
I like this.
