Behind Every Bottle Is a Story Worth Telling 🥃 Our Process Operator Robert Paterson is one of our passionate people behind our spirit. Just two days before our royal visit in 2014, Robert stepped into The Glenturret as a Tour Guide, welcoming guests from around the world with warmth and pride. His journey in whisky didn’t stop there. From Mashman to Spirit Sampler, and now Process Operator, Robert’s path has been one of dedication, growth, and quiet excellence.

The Glenturret are proud to support The Distillers One of One® Auction, with The Glenturret Lineage 🥃 A singular expression, with liquid drawn from four European oak sherry casks, two laid down in 1987 and two from 2005 - this whisky unites wisdom with vitality, the seasoned with the spirited. Together, they form a dialogue across time. Its character reflects this union: the lively brightness of exotic fruits carries youthful energy, gradually embraced by the quiet authority of oak. Warming spice emerges like a guiding hand, steadying and shaping, before soft layers of sweetness and fruit settle into a graceful, lingering finish. PINEAPPLE and MANGO burst with youthful vibrancy, lifted by GINGER and WOOD SPICE. Soft MATURE OAK rests in the background. TROPICAL FRUITS carry through the palate, joined by gentle SWEET SPICES, leading to a subtle, FRUITY FINISH. It is both spirited and assured - the old and the young, conversing in harmony. https://hubs.la/Q03L6xZJ0

The Glenturret Lineage - what one generation begins, the next carries forward. For over 260 years, hands guided by tradition and hearts stirred by purpose have shaped our spirit, passing down not only knowledge, but reverence. From the slow turning of seasons to the patient arc of maturation, time is the silent architect of every Glenturret whisky. For the 2025 Distillers One of One Auction, we present The Glenturret Lineage, a singular expression that embodies this philosophy. Crafted from spirit spanning two generations of distillers - liquid drawn from four European oak sherry casks, two laid down in 1987 and two from 2005 - this whisky unites wisdom with vitality, the seasoned with the spirited. Together, they form a dialogue across time. It rests within a Lalique black crystal decanter, cradled in bespoke carved wood – a dramatic sculptural Scottish elm plinth, evoking the flowing waters of the River Turret, handcrafted by Master Carver David Robinson, in a design collaboration with his son, woodworker and award-winning author, Callum Robinson. Two generations, working side by side, weaving lineage into every line and grain. Their collaboration reflects more than craft - it symbolises legacy.
