The Glenturret 7 Years Old Peat Smoked is a Highland single malt from Scotland's oldest working distillery, The Glenturret Distillery. This 2022 core release has been aged for seven years in a combination of American oak sherry seasoned casks and refill casks, resulting in a peated expression imbued with rich candy sweetness from the sherry. Bottled at 44% ABV, the whisky offers bold peat smoke and dried fruit on the nose, followed by a palate full of earthy smoke undercut by notes of dried cranberries and candied orange peel. The finish lingers with candy sweetness and soft mellow peat.
The Glenturret Distillery is located near the river Turret in a beautiful glen, just two miles away from the town of Crieff in Perthshire. The distillery has a long history of illicit distilling, with records showing it as one of the oldest established distilleries in Scotland, although other distilleries such as Littlemill, Strathisla, and Bowmore may contest this claim. In recent times, the distillery has changed hands several times, having been taken over by the Edrington group in 1999 and the Lalique Group in 2018. This 7-year-old bottling is a peat-smoked expression, matured and bottled at 44% ABV.

The Glenturret 7 Years Old Peat Smoked offers a unique and bold peated experience. However, it may not be to everyone's taste due to its thin mouthfeel and dominant alcohol presence. While it carries a blend of interesting flavors, including earthy smoke and candied sweetness, it leaves a bit of a gap on the palate that some might find unsatisfying. This whisky will appeal to those who appreciate a peated expression with a touch of sweetness, but might not win over fans of richer, more full-bodied drams.
