Brett – 88

An incredible soft, buttery nose, full of sweet candy corn, seaweed, brine, ivy, and simple syrup. In fact, this Highland almost had “too much”; an overabundance of what’s good. I loved it, but still felt assaulted. After the nose, this Glenturret seemed to behave a little more, with a beautiful, slightly oily, medium-weight mouthfeel. The finish didn’t echo, but instead complimented the nose. There were notes of marzipan, Bounty bars, coconut, and toasted oak in its medium-length finish. This dram was a treat.

Glen – 87

Glenturret is one the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland and a good portion of its production ends up in the Famous Grouse. This Signatory bottling came off well balanced and had a very nice nose and sweet character. Had slight brine in the nose once you get past the initial sweetness. A little more complexity in the finish would have made the dram outstanding. The whisky came off a little sharp (which I like) and wasn’t overly smooth. You don’t see Glenturret that often and if you see this bottle you’d we wise to pick it up.

Nose: Very sweet, honey and simple syrup, some brine, woody and sharp
Body: Medium and slightly oily, has some bite
finish: Medium and hot, Big and leaves in a hurry, toasted oak and coconut, not as sweet as the nose.

A hot little number.
