Royal Brackla 13 Carn Mor

Country: Scotland – Speyside
Distillery: Royal Brackla
Type: Single Malt
Age: 13
Cask: Hogshead
ABV: 46.0%
Proof: 92

Nose: Starts with nectar and apricots. Heather also adds on it. Then spices take over and never leave.
Palate: Flowers and grass dance with more spice. Some citrus is also found.
Finish: Medium long with apple and pears. Chili peppers, oak tannins, vanilla and ginger ends the journey.

The independent bottler Carn Mòr's 13 year old Speyside from 'Strictly Limited' series. Distilled in Royal Brackla Distillery, this whisky was matured in 2 Hogsheads from 2001 to 2014. A total of 777 bottles was filled with it.

Carn Mor bottlings I have tried until today were either disappointing or good. Just a few of them were really good. This also stays around OK line which I can define as a simple Speyside whisky, reflecting all natural characteristics and nothing more.

Also the spicy character increases every second during the experience which I didn't enjoy a lot.

I would search true love with other independent bottlers.
