🥃 The Glenturret Triple Wood
Single malt Scotch whisky The Glenturret with no age statement: ex-bourbon casks, American oak and European oak seasoned with sherry; 43–44% ABV depending on the year.
The Glenturret Triple Wood is a single malt Scotch whisky without an age statement from The Glenturret distillery near Crieff in Perthshire. The name points to three cask types. It is the only version of the core range without an age on the label; its strength was 43–44% ABV in different years.
According to The Spirits Business, the 2024 release matured in ex-bourbon casks, American oak and European oak seasoned with sherry, and was bottled at 44% ABV. Drinks International, describing the brand's relaunch in November 2020, named the same three cask types and 43% ABV. The collection was created by Bob Dalgarno. Whisky Magazine notes that the brand renews the core collection every year, so the cask mix of batches may change.
Why it matters to you. Triple Wood is the entry-level expression of the range. Unlike The Glenturret 12 Year Old, it states no age, and unlike The Glenturret 7 Year Old Peat Smoked, it carries no Peat Smoked designation. Check the collection year and strength on the label. The WHO reminds: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
