Thought I'd replied to this. I haven't done that climb no. Does it go anywhere? or out and back?
Perhaps the caveat is the hardest "rideable" climb by mere mortals.

Can definitely make it a loop. Once you do the climb there’s some undulating riding along the top of the hills, it’s lovely, real up in the clouds stuff, then you get a banging descent down to Monzie/Gilmourton kind of area. You can head north at one point and go out towards Sma Glen. Might be possible to get to the Glen Almond track even.

Ever done the climb from the the north end of Loch Turret?
I don't even really know if it's rideable at all. I've always been on a singlespeed mtb when I've been up there and that did not cut the mustard. Even pushing up it is pretty minging, I think you gain a thousand feet of elevation in a thousand metres of distance so what's that? 30%?
Views and descent back down to the distillery make it all worth while.
