Tasting Notes

Nose

Creamy vanilla, orange peel, cinnamon and campfire smoke. The Lalique Crystal bottle is gorgeous, and the nose within is equally appealing — gentle smoke intertwined with citrus and spice.

Palate

Hedgerow fruits, smoked heather, nutmeg and lemon sherbets. The peat is moderate — a seasoning rather than a dominating force. At 48.4%, the spirit has genuine body. The Lalique-era production quality shows.

Finish

Ashy smoke and citrus. A gentle, composed close.

Glenturret 10 Year Old Peat Smoked is the annual peated release from Scotland's oldest working distillery — now under Lalique Group ownership. The 2023 release uses peated barley to create a gently smoky Highland malt quite different from the unpeated core expressions.

The peating is measured and tasteful. This is smoke as complement rather than feature — hedgerow fruits and citrus remain the primary flavours, with the peat adding warmth and depth. At 48.4%, the whisky has more body than the 43% Triple Wood, and the presentation in Lalique's distinctive bottle adds a touch of luxury.

Glenturret Peat Smoked demonstrates the breadth of the distillery's ambitions under Lalique. The gentle peating, the quality presentation and the annual release format create a whisky that adds interest to the range without alienating the core audience. Scotland's oldest distillery, with thoroughly modern ambitions.
