Details
Taking the 'heart of the heart' of their distillate - the spirit cut which contains the highest phenol content - 'The Turbo' entails an amplified smoky identity.
With a lengthy 160-hour fermentation period, the whisky boasts full-bodied character which stands up well to the sweet smoke delivered by their mainland peat from St. Fergus.
The 2024 release is a combination of five American virgin oak casks and four oloroso hogsheads. The result is a multifaceted whisky with a powerful punch of peat, hitting a hefty 70ppm.
Natural colour and non-chill filtered.
