The Glenturret, one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, recently released its Trinity Series in Lalique, a limited-edition single malt series in collaboration with French crystal icon and parent company Lalique.
Called the Glenturret Prowess, this expression is the second in The Glenturret by Lalique series and sees 320 bottles presented in a crystal decanter designed by Marc Larminaux, artistic and creative director at Lalique.
A statement from The Glenturret notes the Prowess’ profile features wood spices, aromatics and oranges in the background, with a thread of liquorice that runs throughout.
Raisins, chocolate and hints of crème brûlée combine with ginger, fruit, vanilla and notes of clean oak on the palate and finish.
This whisky, created by Master Blender Bob Dalgarno, is drawn from two casks … one filled in 1987 and one filled in 1988, both bottled in December of 2022 at 33 years old.
“Many hands touch the life of a whisky, each with a skill honed over time – true craftspeople, adding a chapter to the story as it passes them,” Dalgarno said. “From the coopers who build the casks, the farmers who grow and harvest the barley, the distillery team who mash, distill and fill the new make spirit to cask, the warehousemen who keep watch over the maturation and the whisky maker who selects and decides on the destination of the spirit. This release is a celebration of these individuals who contribute to the process, a trophy in their honor.”
Marc Larminaux, designer of the crystal decanter, said that he took inspiration from the emotive iconography of trophies which celebrate Success and Prowess in a given field of pursuit.
“This elegant and distinguished decanter represents the skills of our Lalique artisan crystal makers and the craftsmanship of the whisky-making team at Scotland’s Oldest Working Distillery,” he added.
