Craigellachie Carn Mor Strictly Limited Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old · 2010 Vintage

Colour

Deep, luxuriant amber with mahogany edges and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Opulent and fragrant, the nose unfolds with plush Pedro Ximénez sweetness: dark raisins, fig and prune, molten toffee and vanilla, ribbons of cocoa and orange zest. A velvet oak underlay brings spice and a whisper of tobacco, weaving a luxuriant, dessert-like aromatic tapestry.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, this Pedro Ximenez cask finish unfurls fig, date and raisin with treacle and orange zest. Dark chocolate and caramel spread across the tongue, while cinnamon and white pepper provide a warming spice. Subtle oak tannins add structure, and the finish lingers with rancio depth and a long, velvety sweetness.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish drenched in Pedro Ximénez sweetness: raisin, fig and prune weave with dark chocolate and toffee, while baking spices and toasted oak linger. Creamy and velvety, it fades to a warm dried-fruit glow with a faint whisper of smoke.
