Glenturret 10 Year Peat Smoke (2020 Maiden Release)

Smokey for sure but quite dominant, slight fruitiness. Peat blending with smoke, opens up in the glass. Rich.

Lovely meaty peat on the nose with some red fruit. Light peat, roast/toasted flavours, nice sweetness, with spice and citrus fruit. Medium long finish. Very nice!

Nose - Soft sweet smoky malt, buttery ash, untoasted sesame seeds Taste - Gentle sweet smoke, light ash, sweet malt, like a sweet light lager/pilsner, gentle black pepper, orange/lemon zest, chocolate Finish - Lingering gentle sweet smoke, lemon, gentle black pepper heat Score - 82/100 Final Thoughts - I've tried this before but I believe my palate was definitely fatigued but I thought it was a fairly inoffensive peated malt then and I think the same now. The peat is nice & subtle and if I had to describe this, I'd say it's like the Glenlivet/Glenfiddich 12 for peat. It's not super exciting but nothing really off putting about it. What's really interesting about this is that it doesn't really have any dominant fruit notes (not even apple or pear) that I get from pretty much every other Scotch. This is just pure malt, like literally a stronger beer in its purest form. It's super clean and fairly boring, but very inoffensive. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.

New version of a Peated Glenturret. I love the unique bottle shape and the big cork ! Nose: peat smoke, bubble gum, peach, petrichor, rancid butter, malt, green apple. Palate: dominant smoke, creamy texture, chocolate, espresso, bread. Long burned caramel finish Excellent stuff for a peathead
