Product description
The Glen Turner Company is a Scottish subsidiary under the control of the French company La Martiniquaise.
It was created to produce and market blended whisky Label 5. Glen Turner whisky is experiencing considerable popularity in Europe, especially in France, and its annual sales exceed one million bottles. In 2008, the French bought the Glen Moray distillery, key to the Label 5 brand, from Glenmorangie plc. Originally, Glen Turner whisky was released on the market as a pure malt, in the last decade almost exclusively in the single malt version. It is no secret that behind the Glen Turner brand lies Glen Moray whisky. The latest incarnation of Gen Turner 12 years old is the Master Reserve presented here.
