About this Càrn Mòr's whisky
This Ben Nevis 10 Year Old from Càrn Mòr’s Strictly Limited range is a robust, characterful Highland single malt that showcases why Ben Nevis remains one of Scotland’s most revered, and unpredictable, distilleries. Distilled in 2015 and bottled in 2025, this whisky was matured in a single sherry hogshead and released at cask strength (54.3%), with natural colour and no chill filtration. Just 226 bottles were drawn from the cask.
Ben Nevis spirit is famous for its weight, texture, and savoury depth, often displaying a distinctive umami character even at a relatively young age. Long fermentation times and a somewhat idiosyncratic distillation regime contribute to a spirit that feels muscular and complex, with an earthy backbone that pairs particularly well with sherry maturation.
In this expression, the sherry hogshead complements rather than dominates the distillery character. Expect a rich, savoury profile, where subtle, well-integrated peat smoke weaves through notes of dried fruits and gentle sweetness. The result is a whisky that feels balanced and confident: not overtly smoky, not overly sherried, but deeply satisfying and full of personality.
A classic example of modern Ben Nevis under sherry influence: bold, textured, and quietly complex. This is a release that will appeal to fans of savoury Highland malts and those who enjoy a more umami-driven style of Scotch.
