Rich, creamy chocolate with a mild smoke hovering above – Dràm Mòr's PX finish on this Ruadh Maor is like sitting and talking with an old friend, one that could go on all night.
Expert's Description
Glenturret Ruadh Maor 9 Year Old is bottled by Scottish independent bottler Dràm Mòr, who specialise in sourcing and bottling single casks from distilleries across Scotland.
The whisky finished its maturation in a first fill PX sherry hogshead, giving it a rich, chocolatey sweetness that plays beautifully against the mild smoke from Glenturret's Ruadh Maor style. Bottled at cask strength, 58.5%, with only 318 bottles.
