Glasgow-based brothers Alasdair and Gordon Stevenson started Turntable Spirits and released the first expressions in their range of blended Scotch whiskies.
They have a combined experience of over twenty years in the whisky business (BenRiach, GlenAllachie, Douglas Laing, Inver House). It is clear that they’ve taken some inspiration from Billy Walker (the cask shuffling) as well as Compass Box (upgrading the perception of blended whisky).
Each of their creative blends come in a colourful bottle. There are a lot of music analogies, so the 2023 Turntable collection consists of three tracks in a wide range of genres.
Track 01 contains Linkwood (virgin oak), Knockdhu (Chinquapin), Girvan (red wine barrel) and Strathclyde (cognac barrel). The malt to grain ratio is 57/43%. Like all Turntable whisky, the compenents are left to marry for at least three months.

Turntable Track 01: Joy. Discovery. Invention
Original price was: NT$2,380.NT$1,950Current price is: NT$1,950.
Nose: fresh and fruity. There’s a lightly tropical note up front (pineapple, peach candy) mixed with floral overtones and hints of freshly sawn oak. Then red berries appear alongside orange peels. Quite fragrant and energetic.
Palate: now the wood comes more to the front, as well as the grainy components. Baking spice (nutmeg, pepper, ginger). The malty note is more in the background now. Some apple, hints of vanilla and toffee. Light earthy notes towards the end.
Finish: medium, with some gingery heat and toffee sweetness.
