The Glenturret Triple Wood Collection 2024 Review: A great whisky for a cozy night in.

What do you get when a distillery releases a new version of a single malt every year? A whisky with a familiar foundation—and a surprise in every bottle. How that plays out in this edition, you’ll read in this The Glenturret Triple Wood Collection 2024 Review.

On the edge of the Scottish Highlands sits The Glenturret: the oldest working Scotch whisky distillery. Alongside several age-stated single malts, there’s a fresh annual release of one of the expressions in its core range: the Triple Wood single malt.

As the name suggests, this expression always matures in a mix of three cask types. This year’s edition brings together American and European oak seasoned with sherry, alongside ex-bourbon barrels.

Beyond a different cask makeup, the ABV has also been tweaked. Last year it was bottled at 43%, this year at 44%. The result is a whisky that’s both sweet and spicy, built on the soft, signature character of The Glenturret spirit.

The Glenturret Triple Wood 2024 comes in a smart blue-and-white box bearing the distillery logo and whisky name. The back provides more information about the Scottish whisky maker and the spirit inside.

The box looks neat, and the bottle is a feast for the eyes. The Glenturret has been part of The Lalique Group for several years now—the maker of elegant crystal decanters—and it shows.

The single malt’s bottle is tall with a distinctly luxurious presence. The profiled sides catch the light beautifully, creating a striking display. The whisky’s colour reflects off the base like a gemstone.

The neck is only a few centimetres high and fairly wide. A large wooden stopper completes the premium look. Once empty, you could easily repurpose it as a stylish water decanter at the table.

This year’s single malt from The Glenturret sports a lovely amber hue and a creamy texture. On the nose, it first leans into fresh wood shavings and spices like cinnamon, followed—if you linger—by fruit notes such as green apple, citrus, and a flicker of white pepper.

On the palate, it’s almost a crowd-pleaser. It opens malty, quickly joined by a sweet mix reminiscent of Lonka vanilla fudge and fairground cinnamon sticks. It’s not overwhelming, but rather pleasantly approachable and well-tempered.

With a gentle swirl, hints of light pepper, ginger, and a touch of nutmeg arrive to dot the i’s. Toward the medium-length finish, whispers of dark fruit—think blueberries—appear before it all takes a graceful bow.

Throughout, The Glenturret Triple Wood 2024 stays balanced, with no single flavour dominating.

Approachable and never heavy-handed: that’s the essence of this edition of The Glenturret Triple Wood. It opens with an inviting nose, followed by a nicely balanced flavour profile that will charm the average whisky enthusiast. It’s not a dram to ponder for hours, but it’s perfect for a convivial evening.
