- Description
- This 1980s bottling of Glenturret's 8-year-old reflects an era when the distillery released limited single malt alongside its core contribution to Famous Grouse. At 40% ABV, the spirit character remains approachable and unadorned by heavy cask influence. A historical snapshot of Glenturret's style before modern bottling practices became standard.
