The previously almost unknown Ruadh Maor is a name that has begun cropping up with a welcome increasing frequency of late, given that it's the moniker given to peated single malt whisky from Glenturret distillery, formerly the home of Famous Grouse under previous owners Edrington.
We don't know much about Ruadh Maor other than it was apparently first made in 2009 for the not-particularly-successful Black Grouse, and that it's supposedly rather heavily-peated (80-120ppm).
Anyway, our buyer Tim R is a big fan and has always got his beady eye out for Ruadh Maor, so he was delighted with this Carn Mor Strictly Limited edition - an 8-year-old from the 2012 vintage bottled from refill sherry hogsheads (yummy) at a heart-warming 47.5%. Timmy R has high hopes for this one, and it looks very reasonably priced.

Yes, a lovely expression from Ardnmurchan. As young as it is (5yrs old I believe), it tastes twice its maturity!
Very well made, delicious & beautifully complex smells & flavours to savour.
Having been fortunate enough to visit Scotland’s little gem distillery twice in the past ( amongst several others) it soon became my favourite dram. This like all its predecessors is a pleasure to savour and a real treat . The only problem is the self discipline required to make the bottle last long enough and show the respect and gratitude to its makers in producing this and in my humble opinion all others from Scotland’s little gem.
