Not all Glenturret goes into Famous Grouse

When in Elgin it would be a sin not to visit the Gordon & MacPhail shop.

Fortunately it is a little more user friendly than their website and it's quite easy for a 'quick look around' to turn into three quarters of an hour.

With great restraint I limited my purchases to three bottles but came away with a bottle of Glenturret 15yr old and sherry matured.

I've always thought that Glenturret was under-rated and that the 10yr old was a perfectly respectable dram.

The 15yr old sherry matured is also a great drink. It's expensive for a 15yr old but I guess that is simply because it's rare for any of it to end up as single malt but for anyone who likes the sweet, heady mixture of fruit, coffee, spice and melted butter it's certainly worth it.
