Càrn Mòr is proudly owned by Morrison Scotch Whisky distiller’s. Solely owned and operated by one of Scotland’s oldest and most prominent whisky families, today its run by Jamie and Brian Morrison. Their legacy gives us access to a wide variety of unique and exceptional casks from pedigree distilleries across Scotland.

Aultmore distillery was founded in 1896, and joined whisky conglomerate John Dewar & Sons in 1923. Aultmore has seen decades of success and growth, with their newest expansion completed in 2024. Consistently crafting a light, bright and creamy style of scotch without sacrificing any concentration of flavour, Aultmore has proven themselves a industry veteran, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Tasting Notes

From the distillery: “Crisp green apples and vanilla with butter biscuits on the finish.”

Method

The Strictly Limited range is made of largely small-batch whisky. These small batch runs are created by marrying together, roughly, two to four casks of whisky to yield, again roughly, 800-1,600 bottles. Strictly Limited releases are nearly always bottled at 47.5%, and are natural in colour and non-chill filtered. These whiskies tend to be a great value opportunity to try a diverse range of distilleries and cask styles.

This expression from Càrn Mòr’s Strictly Limited line was distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2021. Aged exclusively in ex-bourbon barrels for nine years. Non chilled filtered, no added colour. 1128 bottles released.
