Glenturret Ruadh Mhor - Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #284 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
Ruadh Mhor, meaning 'Big Red' in Gaelic, is a heavily-peated spirit made at Glenturret, Scotland's oldest licensed distillery. Previously only seen as a component in blends, in more recent years it's stepped into the spotlight, gaining a name for itself as an exceptional single malt in its own right.
The nose opens with earthy peat, damp bracken, and scorched herbs. Beneath this, a gentle swell of wildflower honey and malted barley sweetness rises, brightened by crisp apple skin and roasted meats. On the palate, the drama deepens as charcoal embers and singed twigs sharpen the edges, the peat now resolute yet softened by a lingering sweetness. A distinctive dram that speaks proudly of its origin, anchored by a sweet backbone that calls you back for more.
