Glenturret 1987 North Star 38 Years – 43.7%

Alexander Gutermann — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 11:52:10 +0000

Glenturret calls itself (as do a few others) Scotland’s oldest distillery, which is quite plausible, since a distillery stood on the current site as early as 1775. It has borne the name Glenturret since 1875. It is situated in a very picturesque location outside Crieff on the River Turret. The water comes from Loch Turret. It produces Famous Grouse for the blend, a fact that is prominently highlighted at the distillery itself. Visitors are welcomed to the “Famous Grouse Experience.”

The fourth edition of the successful ‘Connections’ series brings together three outstanding Speyside whiskies – Macallan 35 Years Old, Tamdhu 20 Years Old and Macallan 10 Years Old – all matured in sherry butts and hogsheads.

The result is a harmonious, complex expression with notes of sultanas, honeyed toffee, cinnamon and polished oak. A luxurious texture, vibrant fruit and warm, lingering sherry spice define this exceptional blend.

Bunnahabhain 2002 – North Star – 51,2%

Alexander Gutermann — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:45:47 +0000

A matured Bunnahabhain that embodies exactly what makes this distillery so special: depth, creaminess and a wonderfully playful sweetness.
After 23 years in a refill hogshead, it displays an impressive balance of ripe fruit flavours, mellow spices and that characteristic, almost nostalgic Bunnahabhain smoothness.

Nose:
A blend of caramelised citrus and a charming, slightly sculptural note – like Play-Doh, but in that lovely, warm, childhood-familiar way. A scent that immediately piques your curiosity.

Palate:
Here, it becomes cosy and rich: pumpkin pie spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, clove – meet thick vanilla cream. Full-bodied, smooth and with a wonderfully rounded texture.

Finish:
The creaminess lingers: marzipan, hazelnut and a sweet, nutty finish that echoes for a long time. Simply delicious.

Clynelish 2015 – North Star – 55,9%

Alexander Gutermann — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 14:45:46 +0000

A young Clynelish that delivers exactly what fans of this distillery love: spice, wax, light fruits – plus a surprisingly exotic note that you don’t come across every day in your glass.
The refill hogshead gives the distillate plenty of scope to showcase its typical character, whilst at the same time imparting subtle, elegant cask notes.

Nose:
A peppery apricot Danish pastry, warm, buttery and with a delicate pastry note. Accompanied by a hint of banana leaf, which brings a slightly green, tropical freshness into play.

Palate:
Robust and full-bodied: a mouthful of kretek spice – those Indonesian clove cigarettes with their sweet, spicy depth – combined with a distinct hint of cinnamon that wonderfully underscores the Clynelish character.

Finish:
Here, the famous Clynelish ‘waxy spice’ reveals itself in all its glory: waxy nutmeg cream, creamy and spicy at the same time. Accompanied by a cheeky, citrus-fresh handful of lemon and lime Tic Tacs, which make the finish bright, lively and surprisingly playful.
