Glenturret Ovation 12 y.o. Peated - Germany Exclusive

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 47% | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Ovation combines peated barley malt with twelve years of maturation in European oak sherry casks. The Single Malt spent its entire maturation in sherry casks, whose sweet, fruity influence sits alongside restrained smoke. This bottling also preserves an earlier production practice at Glenturret: the distillery stopped processing peated malt in 2025.

Created for Kirsch Import’s 50th anniversary, this special edition was Glenturret’s first official bottling made exclusively for the German market. Its name, Ovation, means applause and reflects the anniversary celebration. The whisky is bottled at 47% without added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle comes in gift packaging; both the bottle and its presentation box feature a deep-blue gradient with orange-red accents.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals bright citrus notes, apple with toffee sweetness and ripe garden fruit. Subtle spice and delicately measured smoke add further layers.
• Palate: Pronounced sherry sweetness shapes the palate. Dried fruit and toffee are accompanied by restrained smoke and balanced spice.
• Finish: Dried fruit and delicate spice remain present on the finish, complemented by a hint of smoke.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Glenturret stands on the outskirts of Crieff in Perthshire, above the River Turret. Documents recording the purchase of the Barony of Ochtertyre in 1763 already mention the distillery, which originally belonged to Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre. The Murray family were active in the region as landowners, farmers, brewers and distillers. The distillery remains on its original site today.

The small distillery produces its new-make spirit through particularly slow distillation in hand-hammered copper stills. Individual production batches can differ slightly, so cask selection and maturation time are tailored to their character. The provenance of the oak is another part of The Glenturret’s approach to casks: it has established its own supply chain to trace the wood from the forest through to cask filling. The Whisky Maker decides individually whether each cask will be used again for maturation.
