Official tasting notes
Waxy orange peel, dark chocolate and barbecued herbs.
Ed's review
Colour: Amber; oily in the glass with tears that develop slowly.
Nose: Gentle woodsmoke and damp earth. Spiced brisket smoking over the BBQ. Underripe plums, red berries, and apples. Cedar wood and cinnamon bark.
Palate: Medium mouthfeel. Terry's chocolate orange. Soft fruit, vanilla cream, gentle smoke. A savoury smoked meat note. Alcohol is well integrated.
Finish: Fruit, candied orange peel, and a touch of spice. Soft smoke lingers, like memories of the campfire.
Overall: A lovely dram with quality spirit, gentle peat, and port finish all in good balance.
About this Lady of The Glen whisky
Ruadh Maor is the peated whisky produced at Glenturret distillery. The whisky has a light fruity character with soft peated notes. Matured in a hogshead and finished in a first fill ex-tawny port cask by independent bottler Lady Of The Glen.
A classic highland malt with a twist, a peated expression from this distillery offers an alternative take on the smoky style compared to its coastal cousins. A light and fresh smoke character is complimented with a finishing period in an ex-tawny port cask which offers the spirit notes of silky chocolate and BBQ’d herbs.
