77- Nose
- Decidedly more peaty.
- Palate
- Smooth. Fragrant peat-smoke throughout. Very distinctive, but lacks complexity.
- Finish
- A late interplay between intense malty sweetness and peat-smoke.
- Comment
- Distillery bottlings of Glenturret from this era tend to be quite sherryish, but this Signatory edition is not. The absence of sherry reveals the use of a truly peaty malt in the 1970s.
Jim Murray
82- Nose
- Pretty oaky stuff: wood notes succeed in dampening the honey onslaught. A puff of smoke?
- Palate
- Early honey-malt in the true Glenturret tradition, then a wave of pretty big oak that suggests the end was just about nigh when bottled.
- Finish
- Burnt honeycomb and toffee blends well with the softening oak and that opaque trail of smoke.
- Comment
- Brinkmanship at its bravest and best: another summer would have done this one in.
