Tasting
Nose
The first impression is pleasant and layered. Malty notes form the foundation, while dark chocolate and fruity hints of apple and pear add variety. Vanilla subtly lingers in the background, providing a creamy touch. The nose is not overly intense but present and inviting.
Palate
The initial sip is distinctly malty before a refreshing citrus note takes over. Cinnamon brings a certain spiciness that blends with toffee and a mix of light and dark fruits. The “wild fruit mix” is particularly intriguing, difficult to pinpoint but adding a dynamic character to the whisky. A spicy oak note provides structure, and the texture has a slight tingle – a pleasant interplay between sweetness and spice.
Finish
The finish is marked by solid oak notes, yet remains pleasantly rounded due to soft tannins. A light ginger kick adds a fresh spiciness, while the aftertaste fades slowly with a mix of wood and warm spices.
Verdicts
Marcel
Here you find a whisky that’s simply fun with its hint of cinnamon and wild fruit mix – not a top-tier delight, but a likeable companion for cozy evenings. If you appreciate character and drinkability, this one’s definitely worth reaching for.
Sascha
The Glenturret Triple Wood impresses with a well-balanced structure between fruit, sweetness, and spicy oak, even if it doesn’t deliver any big surprises. Its texture and balanced finish make it a solid Highland whisky with an appealing cask combination.
