Tasting Notes
This Ruadh Maor 8 Year Old 2012 from Càrn Mòr is a delightful peated expression hailing from the Glenturret distillery. Upon nosing, it unveils a captivating bouquet of oily smoke intertwined with earthy notes, reminiscent of cured meats, salted fried potatoes, and a sweetness akin to honeyed parsnips. The palate is a delightful symphony of flavors, with sweet and barbecued notes mingling with honey-roasted ham and vegetal peat smoke. As the whisky lingers on the finish, it unfurls layers of smoked paprika, waxed lemons, charred oak, and an earthen peat character. This exceptional dram, distilled in 2012 and matured for eight years in a refill sherry hogshead, offers a unique and captivating experience with a total outturn of just 2,243 bottles.
