Balmenach Carn Mor Strictly Limited Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old · 2012 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with coppery highlights and a rich mahogany edge.

Nose

Opulent aromas of sun-warmed dried fruits—raisin, fig and prune—rise from a velvet sherry canvas, mingling dark toffee, cocoa and almond. Hints of orange zest and leathered oak thread through, while cinnamon and nutmeg spice mingle with tobacco notes, signaling the oloroso finish on Balmenach’s old-style profile.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied palate with opulent oloroso sweetness: dark plum, fig and raisin weave through toffee, cocoa and almond. Rich oak and caramelized sugar anchor the fruit, while a whisper of nutmeg and clove lends warmth. Long, velvety finish of dried fruit, chocolate and spice.

Finish

Silky and enduring, this finish is steeped in Oloroso richness. Dried fruits—raisin, fig, prune—dance with orange zest and toasted almond, while warm spice unfolds. Cocoa, leather and oak linger long on the palate, fading into a refined sweetness that coats with velvet length and a final note of dark chocolate.
