At Crieff in Perthshire, Glenturret lays claim to being one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland, with roots reaching deep into the 18th century. It has kept faith with the old, handmade ways, mashing by hand and working at a human scale that has all but vanished elsewhere. For years it was the home of the Famous Grouse blend's visitor experience; today, under the Lalique Group, it has stepped forward as a single malt in its own right, dressed in crystal and ambition. The whisky is rich, waxy and traditional, the taste of a distillery that never stopped doing things the slow way.
