Glenturret Whisky

Glenturret lays claim to the title of Scotland's oldest still-working distillery, with roots traced back to 1775 in picturesque Crieff. It was once home to the famous cat Towser, who according to the Guinness Book of Records caught over 28,000 mice during her lifetime as the distillery's unofficial guard. Now owned by the Lalique Group, Glenturret has become one of Scotland's most visited and luxurious distillery experiences.

  • Bottle of Glenturret 8 Year Old Ruadh Maor Heavily Peated whisky
    Item no.: 22227865392-8760

    Glenturret isn't usually a peated whisky – but under the name Ruadh Maor hides a heavily peated version, which Coopers Choice has captured from a single bourbon cask.

    Expert's Description

    Glenturret 2010/2019 Ruadh Maor Heavily Peated is part of the Coopers Choice series from The Vintage Malt Whisky Co., founded in 1992 by Brian Crook, who has more than 20 years of experience in the whisky trade.

    The whisky was distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2019, after 8 years of maturation in a bourbon cask, cask ref. 176. It's bottled at cask strength, 57.5%, non-chill-filtered and with natural colour. Only 330 bottles were filled.

    Tasting Notes

    Nose

    Peat and smoke, balanced by a sweet vanilla tone from the bourbon cask.

    Palate

    Powerful and smoky, with tar, salt and a hint of citrus.

    Finish

    Long, smoky and dry, with lingering peat.
