Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is immediately inviting, with rich and luxurious aromas of dried fruits such as sultanas, raisins, and a hint of figs, along with a gentle sweetness of honey and toffee. The sherry influence is apparent, contributing notes of dark chocolate, marzipan, and a light nuttiness. The malt is smooth, with hints of freshly baked bread and a slight biscuity undertone. There’s a delicate spice in the background, with cinnamon, cloves, and a faint hint of ginger, adding depth to the overall aroma. The oak is gentle but adds a warm, woody character that ties everything together.

TASTE: On the palate, Glenturret Sherry Edition is smooth and full-bodied, with a rich mouthfeel. The fruitiness from the nose continues, with dried fruit flavors such as raisins, sultanas, and prunes coming to the forefront, accompanied by a gentle citrus zest that adds brightness. The sherry influence is prominent, with layers of dark chocolate, toffee, and rich honey sweetness balancing the fruit. The malt adds a smooth, biscuity character, while a hint of spice—cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of oak—gives complexity and warmth. There’s a slight nuttiness, reminiscent of almonds, that complements the overall sweetness.

FINISH: The finish is medium to long, with the dried fruit flavors lingering, accompanied by the warmth of spices and a gentle oak dryness. The sweetness of honey and toffee gradually fades, leaving behind a lingering dark chocolate and a touch of marzipan. The oak provides a dry, slightly tannic aftertaste, offering a clean and satisfying conclusion to the dram. The balance of sherry sweetness, fruit, spice, and oak creates a harmonious finish that leaves a lasting impression of richness and elegance.
