Claude, Head Sommelier The Glenturret Restaurant
"For World Whisky Day, I will be celebrating with a dram of The Glenturret 25 Years Old.
It is one of the most elegant whiskies we have behind the bar and is a rare worldwide bottling with only 210 bottles each year.
I love its gentle tropical fruit profile that lingers well after the last sip! Slàinte Mhath!”
Lucy, Brand Manager
“As the warmer weather brightens our skies and lifts our spirits, I look forward to the evenings where I can grab a few moments to savour the calming sights and sounds of the summer nights...
For me, The Glenturret 15 years old elevates these precious times of rest and reflection. This complex and inviting single malt teases soft spices with an abundance of rich fruit and generous layers of crème caramel.
As an advocate of all things sweet, I adore the decadence of our 15 years old, and its limited availability only adds to my appreciation of this rare dram.
I look forward to toasting to #WorldWhiskyDay with a dram of 15 Years Old!”
Don, Senior Visitor Attraction Associate
"I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity to sample many fine, and some not-so-fine whiskies over the last five or so decades. These days, I believe that The Glenturret 7 Years Old Peat Smoked whisky is an excellent example of fine craftsmanship at its best.
A smooth dram, redolent of vanilla, citrus and sherry sweetness with slightly more than a hint of peat smoke - just enough to tantalise the palate without being too forward. A wonderful introduction to this type of single malt and my suggested dram to celebrate #WorldWhiskyDay this weekend."
Romy, The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant Manager
"Not that I ever need an excuse, but for World Whisky Day, I will be celebrating with The Glenturret 15 Year Old!
It ties together everything I love in a whisky – richness, depth and complexity. I love it for its balance of dark dried fruits, vanilla and sweet wood spice.
A perfect dram with limited bottles of this years release remaining."
Ewan, Food & Beverage Supervisor
“As someone who has a real passion for peated whisky, The Glenturret 14 Years Old Peated expression holds a special place for me...
It’s a beautifully crafted whisky that strikes the perfect balance between smoky peat and rich, fruity sherry notes. It’s a brilliant showcase of old-style peated Glenturret — full of character, complexity, and craftsmanship.
What makes it even more special? It is a distillery-only edition, available exclusively from us here at The Glenturret and by the dram in our newly opened dram bar!
Happy #WorldWhiskyDay”
