Glenturret 12 years Of. Extra Special

The wine

A 1980s Glenturret 12 Year Old presented in a ceramic jug. Glenturret released many similar editions in the 1980s and 1990s. At the time, the 12 Year Old was a distillery classic, alongside the 8 Year Old.

About the Producer Glenturret

Scotland, Southern Highlands. Distillery operational. Owner: Lalique Cristal

The old adage “good things come in threes” is particularly apt when it comes to the Glenturret distillery. Indeed, its birth certificate could legitimately feature three dates: 1814 with Thomas McComish, before its closure during the 1850s; 1875, when Thomas Steward renamed his Hosh distillery Glenturret; and, finally, 1959-1960, when James Fairlie fully renovated the site and reopened the distillery. After a short period with the French company Cointreau, it eventually joined Highland Distillers (Edrington Group) and now makes an important contribution to the Famous Grouse blend. Despite its modest production, Glenturret has garnered something of a following among malt whisky enthusiasts thanks to the magnificent vintage editions (1966, 1967, 1976) launched in the mid-80s, alongside the distribution of its also popular classic versions. From the early 2000s, numerous single casks and small batch versions were added to the range, making Glenturret a collectors' distillery.
