Tasting
Nose
Right from the start, it's clear that this whisky is a more refined and complex version of the Triple Wood. Cinnamon and oak set striking accents, accompanied by dark berries and a hint of dark chocolate. An inviting graininess adds warmth, while vanilla provides a subtle creamy sweetness.
Palate
The initial impression is wonderfully creamy, followed by a pronounced spiciness. The oak imparts a pleasant depth, while cinnamon and sugar resemble an intensely dark, caramelized pastry. Dark currants bring a fruity note, well-balanced by a light acidity. Overall, a powerful and well-structured taste that skillfully blends spice and sweetness.
Finish
The finish remains pleasantly soft and subtly oak-driven. A warming note runs throughout, accompanied by fruity sweetness and a distinct cinnamon spice. Light spice notes add a fine complexity, while the balance between wood and fruit remains intact.
Verdicts
Marcel
A whisky that simply delights with its creamy texture and spicy fruit notes – perfect for cozy evenings when you’re looking for some depth and character. Sure, the price isn’t a bargain, but anyone who appreciates mature flavors and an intense tasting experience will be very well served here.
Sascha
The Glenturret 12 Year 2024 impresses with its balanced interplay between spicy oak and fruity acidity, supported by a creamy mouthfeel. Despite its obvious maturity, it lacks a bit of final precision in places, which makes the somewhat higher price feel a bit questionable.
