- Description
- Glenturret's peated expression, Ruadh Mhor, appears here as a 12-year-old distilled in October 2013 and matured in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead until February 2025, with 260 bottles released. The combination of smoke and rich PX sherry creates an unusually balanced profile: peat smoke mingles with raisins, dark chocolate, and dried stone fruits. The palate is substantial and layered, with smoke-sweetness tension and a finish that stretches long. Ideal for those who want peat with dark fruit sophistication rather than raw intensity.
