Glenturret 1999 19 Year Old 'Gordon & Macphail' Connoisseurs Choice Whisky 700ml
This makes it a fairly mature, single-cask sherry-matured Highland dram — rare, not from a “big name” distillery (Glenturret is more under-the-radar), which often yields interesting, nuanced results rather than mainstream-style “bombs.
Nose: Rich combination: stewed raisins, cocoa powder, and toasted hazelnuts. Creamy vanilla also comes through.
Palate: Creamy and warming — the first sip brings a plush texture, then layers of blackcurrant/blackberry fruit, followed by juicy orange and stewed fruit richness.
Finish: Lingering chocolate and oak. Some subtle aniseed or spice undertones on the fade — not heavy tannins, but enough cask-driven structure to give a satisfying finish.
