- Glenturret, the oldest Scottish distillery still in operation today, has experienced a fabulous transformation in the past few years.
Product description
Glenturret, Scotland's oldest distillery still in operation, has undergone a fabulous transformation over the last few years.
Until recently, it used an open mash tun, where the mash was stirred with a wooden paddle, but now it looks more like a whisky boutique, with super limited editions offered in Lalique crystal decanters and The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant, which is a Michelin-star contender. Since spring 2019, the distillery has been owned by a joint venture, Glenturret Holding, founded by Lalique Group and Swiss businessman Hansjörg Wyss, one of its main shareholders. Whether it was a touch of a magic wand or a subsidy from the deep pockets of its new owners, just two years later, Glenturret Distillery has won 31 awards and distinctions.
In its latest incarnation, Glenturret focused on exclusive limited editions presented, of course, in Lalique crystal decanters. The Winter presented here, a herald of the Still Life series, consisted of just 105 decanters. "Christmas fruitcake, sweet honey and chocolates with brandy make you forget about the cold. Behind them, a bit of oak and vanilla, dried fruit and a wave of Christmas spices - nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger. A wonderfully warming composition."
