The smoky, savoury contrast makes this a distinctive one.
This is a strongly smoke-led Glenturret, with barbecue, ash and soot on the nose, then smoked sardines and cold liver oil on the palate. The savoury, oily finish keeps that line going. There is little here to soften the intensity, so it reads as a deliberately narrow, polarising style rather than an easy all-rounder. The detail is distinctive, but the smoke would need to be the point.
The barbecue smoke and savoury, oily notes make this sound bold rather than especially easygoing. There is a clear, distinctive character here, though it may be a more challenging fit for someone seeking a gentle whisky.
Intense smoke and oily savouriness make this a blunt, savoury-leaning whisky.
