Glenturret Kintra, 1977 35 years, 47,1%, Cask 19, 173 numbered bottles
It is a 35 year old Glenturret from a refill sherry cask. Distilled on 18-10-1977….Now I can hear all of you thinking….1977-2016…that should be at least 38 years old. Not this one…
The spirit was taken out of the cask mid 2013 because the cask was sold and taken to a bottler. The sale however was never finalised. The spirit was put in a container and was held at the bottler until recently it was bottled under the Kintra label. So, like you are used to and deserve…full disclosure and transparency.
The whisky is from the category “they don’t make them like this anymore”. It’s delicate but with enough punch left. Marzipan, tangerines and of course the influence from the oak…but not overwhelming. It’s like a chameleon…changing its appearance over time. The aftertaste lingers and brings you coffee, roasted almonds and chocolate flavours…and even then there is the fruity tangerine and orange zest influence.
