This single cask bottling of a 29-year-old Glenturret single malt was produced by the independent bottler Cadenhead in the Authentic Collection Cask Strength series. The whisky was distilled in 1987, matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 150 bottles in 2017.
Glenturret is a distillery near Crieff on the River Turret, Perthshire Scotland, which claims to be the oldest distillery in Scotland. The present distillery dates from 1775, although whisky has been distilled there illegally since 1717. The house cat Towser has become famous: She lived to be 24 years old and is in the Guinness Book of Records with 28899 mice caught.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
