This bottling is of Glenturret (Ruadh Maor) is from the Infrequent Flyers range from The Alistair Walker Whisky Company, based in Falkirk, Central Scotland. With nearly 20 years of experience in the Scotch whisky industry, Alistair Walker made the decision to forge his own path as an independent bottler, establishing the company in 2018.
Independent bottlers, also known as merchant bottlers, source whiskies from various distilleries across Scotland (and beyond), bottling the casks when they are ready. The company has no affiliation with any specific distillery, allowing them to freely source casks from a wide range of distilleries. This enables them to offer a diverse portfolio of whisky bottlings.
The ‘Infrequent Flyers’ range is a series of single cask bottlings of Scotch whiskies, sourced from distilleries throughout Scotland. A reference to the nature of many of the casks chosen, 'Infrequent Flyers' are often whiskies from lesser-known distilleries. These bottlings are of excellent quality but rarely or inconsistently available. Predominantly single malts and bottled in their most authentic form.
This bottling has been distilled at Glenturret Distillery, in the Highlands region. Distilled in 2010, and bottled at 14 years old. Matured in a Moscatel Hogshead, this is a single cask run of 272 bottles, from cask number 6357.
Apart of Alistair Walker Whisky Co. Batch 19 - Release No. 173
Official Tasting Notes
Colour - Burnt amber.
Nose - Sweet peat, but earthy and vegetal, with underlying dark fruit notes.
Taste - An elegant combination of contrasting flavours - the sweet notes of Demerara sugar, marmalade and citrus, versus the savoury components - smoky phenols and cracked black pepper.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
