After he expanded his syndicate the Society was purchased by Glenmorangie PLC in 2004. In 2015, the Society was sold back to private investors.

Toasted pine nuts and crispy bacon created a delicious cooperation that moved into cardamom, cloves and cured meats. With water more tar tangled with coal and scorched earth but now suggested creamy textures and medicinal melodies. Dry smoke married a delicious sweetness on the palate as Battenberg cake arrived rolled in charcoal and ash. Notes of burning heather and chimney soot combined on a finish that retained hints of fruit and sweet oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis whisky was distilled on 1st October 2013 and aged in a single re-charred hogshead for 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Glenturret\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlenturret claims to be one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland, although it was dismantled for over 25 years before James Fairlie built a new facility within the walls of the former site in 1959, using old equipment procured from Perthshire neighbours, Tullibardine. Despite using traditional whisky-making methods, the distillery was also a pioneer, opening Scotland’s second ever visitor centre in 1981. It was then transformed into the home of The Famous Grouse by Edrington in 2002, before changing hands again in 2018 when it was bought by the owner of Lalique crystal. With former Macallan whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno at the helm, the new ownership relaunched the Glenturret single malt brand in 2020 with a predictably luxurious new bottle design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e64.1% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenturret","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54687044206917,"sku":"GLTURTSMWS16.50","price":109.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4017415874.jpg?v=1746549340","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/glenturret-6-year-old-single-cask-smws-2013-16-50-tar-in-the-night-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
