"From Coventry to Geneva"
Glenturret claims to be one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, although it was dismantled for over 25 years before James Fairlie built a new facility within the walls of the former site in 1959, using old equipment procured from Perthshire neighbours, Tullibardine. Despite using traditional whisky-making methods, the distillery was also a pioneer, opening Scotland’s second ever visitor centre in 1981. It was then transformed into the home of The Famous Grouse by Edrington in 2002, before changing hands again in 2018 when it was bought by the owner of Lalique crystal. With former Macallan whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno at the helm, the new ownership relaunched the Glenturret single malt brand in 2020 with a predictably luxurious new bottle design.
This stunning release is a collaboration between the distillery and British car builder Jaguar. It was produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the legendary model E-Type. The whisky is a minimum age of 30 Years Old and drawn from four casks. Three Oloroso sherry-seasoned European oak butts and a single Amontillado sherry-seasoned American oak quarter cask.
The bottle is displayed in a smart wood box and is accompanied by a booklet which explains the release and a leather key-fob.
One of 265 bottles.
