There will be many opinions referring to the time period of Whisky Production in Scotland that could be referred to as "The Golden Age of Whisky." There is a time however that without doubt was special and considered by many that period.

The whisky made early 60s-70s with direct firing of stills, the abundant use of Golden Promise Barley, a slower more deliberated approach to production and even a more generous portion of malts in blends of the period ,all lead to a treasure of never again to be repeated whiskies.

We refer to this as the "The Golden Era of whisky."

Watch for whiskies from Turmeaus that is identified as such and give it careful consideration when you feel like a rare and special dram"

Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.

Well rounded on the nose, there are notes of chewy sultanas and Sherried peels, barley sugars with a floral aspect.

A full and rich palate with notes of tannic oak, manuka honey and fruit with apples and oranges before finally, cut herbs and a long and dry finish with a hint of spice.
