Ruadh Maor (Glenturret) 12 Year Old, Thompson Bros
The Tasting Notes
Chimney smoke and buttery smoked whitefish, lemonade, smoked bacon, iodine, salty brine and some yellow fruit poking its head up.
Deep mouthfeel with plenty of maritime notes, old rope, lobster boxes, rockpools and some more citrus notes, verging towards grapefruit.
Lasting peat and wood smoke with a touch of herbaceousness.
Details
