Glenturret 14 Year Old Infrequent Flyers Cask 6357

Description

? Unique Flavour Profile

Glenturret 14 Year Old Infrequent Flyers Cask 6357 is particularly interesting because it combines two contrasting elements: the peat of Glenturret’sRuadh Maor spirit with a sweet, aromatic Moscatel wine finish.

Ruadh Maor Peat: Glenturret’s peated spirit is known for being lighter and more elegant than Islay peat, often carrying earthy and subtle smoke notes.

Moscatel Cask: Moscatel is a sweet, highly aromatic grape variety. Finishing the whisky in these casks would impart notes offloral honey, sun-ripened fruit (like apricot and orange), and sweet spices.

? Tasting Notes (Based on the profile)

Nose: Smoldering peat smoke and honeyed malt, giving way to bright orchard fruit, rose, and sweet spices.

Palate: Rich layers of sweet orange, apricot, and golden syrup, beautifully balanced by a core of savoury smoke, oak, and subtle pepper spice.

Finish: Long, warming, and delicately smoky, with the sweet wine notes and peat smoke intertwining for a graceful fade.

This is a classic “sweet and smoke” combination, but done with a unique Mediterranean sweetness from the Moscatel cask. It’s considered a fantastic and rare single-cask bottling for fans of peated Highland whiskies.
