(see previous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/ancnoc-rudhan-highland-single-malt-launches-duty-free-exclusive\/\">story<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together dark peaty smokiness and light subtle flavour, the elegant dram takes its name from the peat harvesting process. The term \u2018r\u00f9dhan\u2019 [roo-an] refers to the final stage, in which the peat is stacked for several weeks to dry out ahead of burning to create the signature smokiness associated with the range.<\/p>\n<p>Measuring 46% ABV and pale straw in appearance, the initial fruity aromas give way to the strong scent of woody smokiness. To taste, the famous earthy peat flavour is followed by warming spices and burnt sugar, ending with a long and smooth finish.<\/p>\n<p>International Beverage Marketing Director Karen Walker commented: \u201cAs a brand we have seen a growing demand for Peaty expressions and launching R\u00f9dhan to travel retail was a real opportunity for us to introduce anCnoc\u2019s darker side to a new audience of thousands of travellers. We\u2019re thrilled it\u2019s received the recognition it deserves at The Spirits Business Global Travel Retail Spirits Masters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>R\u00f9dhan is available at $65 (USD) for 1L.
