The distillery has been a key component in the Famous Grouse blend for decades, and since 2018 has focused on elevating its single malt program with expressions that reflect its traditional pot-still character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenturret also holds a notable piece of distillery folklore: Towser the cat, who served as the distillery mouser for 24 years and holds the Guinness World Record for most mice caught — nearly 30,000 over her working life. A bronze statue of Towser stands outside the distillery to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted barley, hazelnuts, sweet raisins, vanilla cream, and a hint of dried apple\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ginger, cinnamon, spiced apple crumble, orange zest, and warming grain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and creamy with lingering spice and toasted oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenturret, Crieff, Perthshire, Highland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs Glenturret really Scotland's oldest distillery?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — Glenturret was founded in 1763 and has operated continuously since, making it the oldest working distillery in Scotland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy is Glenturret bottled at 46% rather than 40%?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottling at 46% ABV preserves more of the natural character and flavour integration from cask maturation.
