Ruadh Maor (Glenturret) 2012-2022 | 10 Year Old Dram Mor Single Cask 220

Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Bottled by: Dram Mor 70cl / 58.7%

A cask strength 2012 Ruadh Maor (Glenturret's rare heavily-peated spirit) bottled by Dram Mor as a 10-year-old for their autumn 2022 outturn.

Glenturret is a tiny distillery, and Ruadh Maor makes up only a small fraction of the distillery's output, so this is a rare treat indeed - and just to make it even rarer, this single cask Ruadh Maor was matured in.... a refill white port hogshead! You really don't see too many of those around.

Dram Mor's Ruadh Maor 2012 10-year-old came from Cask 220, which yielded 308 bottles at a reassuringly hefty 58.7%, and we can't wait to try it.

Tasting Notes

Official Tasting Notes

Colour: Light Hay.

Nose: Peated rice pudding (No really!) Wood polish and old leather.

Palate: Wow! Waty more peat than the nose suggests but it is no one trick pony. Sweet toasted marshmallow charred over a peat fire with a serving of black, pepper crusted crowd and warm pancakes.

Finish: Not as long as you might imagine it would be. It is very prominent for a few seconds then someone turns the heat down. A great dram!
