Scotland
📍 Highlands, Scotland
Ruadh Maor is the peated expression of the Glenturret Distillery — one of the oldest working distilleries in Scotland.
🕰️ History and Legacy
While Glenturret dates back to 1763, Ruadh Maor is a modern creation that revives the smoky Highland character.
⚗️ Production and Philosophy
Ruadh Maor is made from heavily peated malt and distilled in small copper pot stills. The whisky is matured in bourbon and refill sherry casks, resulting in a complex balance of smoke, sweetness, and wood.
🍯 Flavor Profile and Style
Powerful, smoky and spicy with notes of ash, honey, vanilla and a hint of sea salt.
🌟 Special Bottlings or Collaborations
Limited single cask releases via independent bottlers such as Adelphi and Morrison & Mackay.
💎 Why this distillery is special
Ruadh Maor proves that even in the Highlands, peat can produce a refined, layered whisky.
