The Glenturret 30 Years Old 2023 Release is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 42.7% ABV (85.4 proof) in an outturn of 500 numbered bottles. Whisky maker Bob Dalgarno assembled it from five casks held in the distillery's reserves at Crieff, Perthshire: two European oak casks, one port pipe and two American oak hogsheads. It arrived on 11 July 2023 as part of The Glenturret's annual Core Collection, in the pre-order tier the distillery reserves for its oldest stock, alongside a 25 Years Old and the first 35 Years Old.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

Thirty years in cask, released in 2023 in an outturn of 500 numbered bottles worldwide.

Five casks make the marriage: two European oak, one port pipe and two American oak hogsheads.

Bottled at 42.7% ABV — 85.4 proof — which for a whisky of this age is a deliberate choice rather than what the cask happened to give.

Assembled by whisky maker Bob Dalgarno at The Glenturret in Crieff, Perthshire, in the southern Highlands.

Released 11 July 2023 within the annual Core Collection, in the pre-order tier held for the distillery's oldest stock.

The Glenturret & Bob Dalgarno Heritage

Southern Highland Manual Craftsmanship

Distilled at The Glenturret Distillery along the Turret Burn in Crieff, Perthshire, this 30-year expression embodies traditional manual Highland distilling. Assembled by renowned whisky maker Bob Dalgarno from five reserve casks, it showcases how time, European oak, American oak, and a ruby port pipe create remarkable fruit complexity at three decades of age.

Craftsmanship & Cask Architecture

Five-Cask Reserve Marriage

30-Year Reserve Maturation

Five-Cask Marriage

Harmonizes two European oak casks, two American oak hogsheads, and one ruby port pipe for multidimensional flavour.

Ruby Port Pipe Influence

Red-Fruit & Silk Texture

The single port pipe adds a subtle ruby cast, dark prune, fig, and a distinct red-berry compote thread through the middle.

American & European Oak

Orchard & Spice Balance

European oak supplies gingery spice and dried fruit, while American oak hogsheads deliver tropical fruit and banana.

Limited Outturn

500 Numbered Bottles

An exclusive 2023 Core Collection release of just 500 individually numbered bottles worldwide.

Nº 04

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Master Whisky Maker Tasting Notes

Sensory Profile

Nose: Tropical fruit salad and ripening banana over dried prune and fig, with brandy-snap sweetness behind.
Palate: Ginger and cinnamon dust the fruit, and a compote of red berries arrives with meringue and vanilla cream.
Finish: Fruit-led and long, closing on a light shade of oak rather than a tannic grip.

Strategic Position

Thirty-year Highland malt at under 43% divides people, and it should: this is a whisky assembled for texture and fruit rather than for the proof-point arms race. Five hundred bottles is small enough that the 2023 release is effectively fixed. Set beside the 18-year Springbank from Campbeltown, it makes the regional argument plainly: Campbeltown coastal weight against southern Highland orchard fruit.

Records & Assurance

Production Methodology

The Glenturret distils in Crieff, in the southern Highlands, and still works to methods it has kept deliberately manual. For this release whisky maker Bob Dalgarno went looking through the distillery's older reserves for a specific set of flavours and settled on five casks. Two European oak casks supply the darker dried fruit and a brandied, gingery edge; one port pipe adds the ruby cast and the red-fruit line; two American oak hogsheads carry the tropical fruit and banana that trace back to the character of the distillery's new-make spirit. The five were married and bottled at 42.7% ABV, filling 500 numbered bottles.
