Thinking Drinkers Spirits Club (August): Turntable Blendning House

Turntable Blending House gives blended whisky a new voice.

The story starts with two brothers, a serious love of whisky and a backing track of creativity. Conceived as an antidote to the status quo, Turntable flips the record on ordinary in a bid to unlock new frontiers in the blended whisky space.

With over 20 years experience between founders Gordon and Ally Stevenson, the project is a labour of love, one that appreciates that all great whiskies need three core ingredients: quality spirit, excellent casks and time.

The blending philosophy at the heart of Turntable can be summed up in one phrase: No Shortcuts. A project years in the making, the brothers have put wood management at the forefront of their vision, sourcing exceptional casks from around the world to run a sizeable rerack programme and develop the quality of their whisky stock. Married for three months, all Turntable blends will be natural colour and non-chill filtered.

Professionally, their work has taken Gordon and Ally to virtually every corner of the whisky world. Turntable represents the brothers’ shared vision to bring something fresh and exciting to the industry they love.
