44 YEAR OLD GLENTURRET 1977 SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

163 Bottles
/
44 Years Old
Scotch Whisky

The Last Drop is delighted to present Release No 27, a 44-Year-Old Highland Single Malt from the Glenturret Distillery, one of the most ancient and revered names in the annals of Scotch Whisky distilling.

Located in Perthshire, The Glenturret benefits from direct access to Loch Turret, whose soft water imbues the whisky with many of its highly sought-after characteristics. This natural boon is perhaps one reason why it is reputedly Scotland’s earliest distillery: officially established in 1775 but with illicit operations dating back as far as 1717.

 

ABV : 45%

“SUCH AGED BUT STILL BRIGHT AND ENTICING WHISKIES ARE AS RARE AS THE MYTHICAL UNICORN ”

MORE ABOUT THIS RELEASE

The Glenturret’s longstanding reputation for traditional craftsmanship and small-batch production ensured the distillate produced in 1977 possessed the necessary character, structure and integrity to harness the benefits of almost half a century’s maturation, evolving into a single malt of great distinction and exciting depth.

A true gem from the ages and for the ages. This whisky was matured from birth in an ex-sherry butt, which has given it a beautiful, amber-hued colour, and an unmistakeably rich taste, and finish. Certainly a treasure to be tasted savoured and remembered.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: The whisky has a golden amber hue speaking of decades in an ex-sherry cask.

NOSE: Classical whisky rancio aromas. A mix of rich and tropical fruits — plums, mango, candied apricots and dried peach. Behind lies slight sweetness of raisins and toffee, some floral notes and a thyme-honeyed scent… room-filling. The merest drop of water reveals some spice — sweet leather and sandalwood, with more of a Manuka honey finish

PALATE: There is the rich fruitiness of apricots, floral sweetness and silky tannins. A hint of spices and oak develop into liquorice and sherry notes before emerging into a nutty Madeira finish where the whisky’s maturity shines through.

FINISH: A true classic of its kind. Impressive maturation, with relatively low wood influence, has allowed the exotic dimensions to develop, whilst retaining balance and structure.
