Tasting Notes

Nose

Light smoke mingling with baked apple, ripe pear, peach. Citrus, fresh green oak and sultanas accompany a meandering peat smoke. Gentle and inviting.

Palate

Candyfloss sweetness, fresh meringue and mellow peat. A silky, satisfying body. The peat is at its most subtle and sweet — Highland smoke that whispers rather than shouts.

Finish

Long-lasting with pleasant smokiness that lingers delicately. Earthy undertones.

Glenturret 7 Year Old Peat Smoked is the younger peated sibling of the 10 Year Old expression — matured in refill American and European oak casks, presented at 46% without chill filtration or colouring. The seven years demonstrate peat at its most subtle and sweet.

The younger age gives the peat a different character from the 10 Year Old. Where the elder expression has more oak integration, the seven-year-old lets the peat and spirit conversation happen with less wood interference. The result is a silky, sweet peat that preserves Glenturret's signature vanillin elegance.

Glenturret 7 Peat Smoked is an excellent dram for anyone who wants to explore peat without the intensity of Islay. The Highland smoke is gentle and sweet, the spirit quality genuine, and the Lalique-era presentation adds a touch of luxury at a fair price.
