Glenturret Ruadh Maor - The Single Cask #153 Whisky 8 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-amber with ruby-tinged mahogany edges, a warm, glowing hue that hints at sherry richness.

Nose

Powerful peat smoke envelops a sherry-fueled sweetness: red-berry and dark fig lift through cocoa, toffee and dark chocolate. Vanilla and spice from oak mingle with cinnamon and clove, while toasted almond adds depth. A coastal brightness underpins the aroma, yielding a bold, velvety nose that's smoky, fruity and richly spiced.

Palate

Fully peated Glenturret on the palate, a bold, resinous smoke braided with sherry sweetness. Dried fruit, fig and raisin meet cocoa and orange zest, while oak delivers toasted spice. At 59.5%, a warming peppery spine carries clove and leather, finishing long, smoky, and luxuriously drying.

Finish

Long, peated finish coats the palate in smoky warmth, with enduring sherry sweetness. Dried fruit, cocoa and spice mingle before a silky oak-vanilla glow lingers, slowly fading into a quiet, ember-like finish.
