The Glenturret Peated Edition is a single malt Scotch whisky produced by The Glenturret distillery in Scotland. As the name suggests, this expression is a departure from the distillery's usual unpeated style, and has been made with peated malted barley, resulting in a smoky and complex flavor profile.
On the nose, The Glenturret Peated Edition is said to have notes of peat smoke, toasted oak, and vanilla, with a hint of citrus. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of smoke, charcoal, and dark chocolate, balanced by a hint of sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering smokiness.
The Glenturret is one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, having been established in 1775. It is located in the heart of Perthshire and is known for its traditional production methods, including floor maltings and small copper stills. The distillery produces a range of expressions, including its core range of 10, 12, and 15-year-old single malts, as well as limited edition releases like The Glenturret Peated Edition.
Overall, The Glenturret Peated Edition is a unique and interesting expression that showcases the distillery's versatility and willingness to experiment. It is a great choice for whisky enthusiasts who enjoy smoky and complex whiskies, and is sure to be a conversation starter at any tasting or gathering.

About The Brand: Glenturret
On the banks of the Turret River, the Glenturret Distillery is located two miles (three kilometers) northwest of Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. The distillery is tucked away in a glen, and its seclusion may have played a role in its early history as the home of a number of illegal bothy stills. It was believed that the tall hills on each side of the distillery served as lookout spots for the smugglers. The valley is 'a wonderful paradise to painters, who come in huge numbers to translate some of its sublime charms to canvas,' according to Alfred Barnard, who visited the distillery at the time. The Monzievaird and Strowan parish is where the distillery is situated. The distillery had been controlled by illegal distillers from 1717 in an effort to evade taxes until it was formally created in 1763. Because of its early history, Glenturret has been dubbed the oldest distillery in Scotland, a claim that other businesses like Littlemill or Strathisla dispute. The Drummond family had previously owned the distillery under the name 'Hosh.' 'Hosh' derives from the Irish word 'cois,' which means foot. John McCallum took control of it from 1845 to 1875, the year of its centennial, when Thomas Stewart assumed it and changed its name to Glenturret.
