Stop number 79 on the SDT is Glenturret. This 11 year old Highland single malt comes to us by way of the independent bottlers at Gordon & MacPhail. Bottled at 46% ABV and even though I don’t have definitive proof, I do believe it is both non chill filtered and natural color of yellow gold. The nose begins with green apples and pears and green oak. Fresh would be the best way to describe it. Grainy/malty with some honey, very floral. Light orchard fruits, oranges, lemons, nectarines. Slightly vegetal, hay and grasses. Vanilla, very light toffee and nuts. Not super complex but good regardless. The palate is strong on the honey up front. Vanilla and orchard fruits, apricots, oranges and nectarines. The fruits move to the tropical zone and then bursts with flavor. Pineapple, coconut, papaya, mango and melons. No real oak to speak of but a fair bit of spice. Medium bodied mouthfeel that is quite oily and mouthwatering. A medium length finish. Fruity with a touch of bitterness. Mouthwatering throughout. I have to say this was a very good example of an independent bottling done right. Not the pinnacle of depth and complexity but it can hold its own against more than a few official bottlings out there. Easy drinking but not lacking in power. At around $70 it’s not a bad value for money. I’m not sure how many bottles were released but I would recommend picking one up should the opportunity present itself. 3.75 and thanks to @Telex for the sample. Cheers
