A creamy and delicious official standard. GlenTurret GLENTURRET 12yo OB 40% 1990s Circulation Aroma: Soft and refined with orange oil, faint peach, cream, vanilla, and a pleasant, smooth barley note. Palate: Gentle mouthfeel with slight viscosity and a texture that lingers on the tongue. The barley note gradually intensifies, followed by orange cream and a sweet, rich finish. [Good/Very Good] This GlenTurret 12 Year Old, circulated in the 1990s, comes in its original official standard bottle. While it lacks strong old-wine character, it leaves a calm and refined impression. The aroma features orange oil and a gentle, pleasant barley note with creamy nuances. When tasted, it offers a moderate aging character with an immersive texture, and the impression of stronger barley notes and orange/cream aromas remains. Despite its low alcohol content, it feels rich rather than thin, with a pleasant and long-lasting finish. Typically, GlenTurret exhibits creamy nuances, but this one feels even more rounded due to aging. While it lacks strong old-wine character, it shows good aging development. Personally, I believe this is an ideal time to enjoy this malt.
