Càrn Mòr is a range of rare and unique independent bottlings. The small, limited bottlings express the unique differences of each batch rather than trying to aim for consistency and is bottled in a way that many of the distilleries cannot due to restrictions. The Càrn Mòr range will be as close to drinking from the cask as possible.

Balmenach use tradtional worm tub condensers which creates a meaty profile ideally suited for sherry cask maturation. This is a vatting of both 1st fill and refill Oloroso Sherry casks to create a lovely balanced dram.

Tasting notes - Hot cross buns, candied orange peel, raisins and gentle spice.
