- Description
- Glenturret's 12-year-old distillery bottling from the 1980s represents the standard release of its time, before the distillery shifted to a 10-year-old expression in 2003. Bottled at 40% ABV, this vintage offers a glimpse into the era when most of the distillery's output supported Famous Grouse while select casks aged for single malt release. A rare example of Glenturret's maturing spirit from an important period in the distillery's history.
