Whisky Cellars Glenturret Ruadh Maor 2010 11yo Refill Oloroso Sherry Butt

Description

Ruadh Maor, the big peaty (80ppm) version of Glenturret.  And what a belter it is!

From the Big G, “Stinky highland peat, earthy/muddy, dominates Sweet malty entry, then the dry smoke peat arrives and takes over, finished malty and oakey. Lingering, Classy and intriguing”.

From MoreDramsLessDrama, “Neat, with oily arrival, sweet smoke, damp peat, citrus, cigar stub, aniseed, bacon and dark chocolate intertwine in a melody of sweet peaty flavours. With water, the sweetness is a bit more present but there’s also a slight dryness appearing on the tongue and gums. Ginger and chilli pepper provide a nice and soft spiciness.  Sweet and smoky, dark chocolate, for a lengthy finish. 86/100”.
