- Description
- Glenturret's Ruadh Maor—its peated expression—displays robust smoky character in this single-cask release matured for 11 years in ex-bourbon and bottled cask strength. Distilled in 2011 and opened in 2022, the bourbon cask has allowed peat smoke to mature gracefully alongside subtle vanilla and toasted oak. The result is a balanced, smoky Highland malt without the maritime intensity of Islay peers. This 291-bottle release suits peat enthusiasts seeking refinement and complexity from Highland distilling.
