Finn Thomson Glenturret 15 Year Old Peated Single Malt

Finn Thomson Glenturret 15 Year Old Peated Single Malt 

One of Scotland's oldest whisky families, the Thomsons have spent over three centuries connected to Scotch whisky through distilling, blending and the careful stewardship of exceptional casks.

The Thomson family's connection to Scotch whisky dates back to 1772 and spans nine generations. From the original Old Perth blend created by Peter Thomson to the exceptional casks quietly laid down by Michael Thomson decades ago, the family's history has always been shaped by patience and stewardship.
Today, Finn Thomson continues that tradition, bottling remarkable single casks only when they have reached what he believes is their perfect moment.

A remarkable single cask release from Scotland's oldest working distillery, selected by Finn Thomson Whisky to showcase the character of peated Glenturret alongside the extraordinary influence of a Ximénez-Spínola cask.

Distilled on 26 January 2011 and bottled on 23 February 2026, this 15 Year Old single malt spent its final maturation in a cask sourced from Bodegas Ximénez-Spínola, a renowned boutique producer in Jerez celebrated for rich Pedro Ximénez wines and exceptional cask quality. The result is a whisky of depth, complexity and balance, where rich sherried sweetness meets the elegant peat character that once defined a small but treasured part of Glenturret's production.

This release is especially significant as it showcases Glenturret's peated spirit, a style that the distillery announced would cease production in 2025, making bottlings such as this increasingly rare.
Bottled at natural cask strength, without chill filtration or added colouring, this is an authentic expression of both distillery and cask.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Dark raisins, dried figs and dates lead the way, followed by treacle, cocoa powder and toasted oak. Underneath sits a gentle waft of wood smoke and charcoal embers.

Palate: Rich and full-bodied with PX sweetness, dark chocolate, Christmas cake, molasses and roasted coffee beans. The peat emerges gradually, bringing subtle BBQ smoke and savoury depth without overpowering the fruit.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering dried fruits, spice, dark cocoa and a refined smoky character.
