Benriach 1998/26 year old Carn Mor Celebration of the Cask Scotch Whisky
The Carn Mor Celebration of the Cask range of Single Cask Whisky from the family-owned independent bottlers, Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, are a very limited range from distilleries all over Scotland. All the bottles are numbered and once they are gone they cannot be replaced as they are from one-off bottlings from a single cask. The Carn Mor Celebration of the Cask Scotch Whiskies are bottled at cask strength and are all non-chill filtered.
This 26 year-old scotch whisky was distilled in 1998at the Speyside Benriach distillery. The whisky was fully matured in a single ex-sherry butt. This whisky was bottled at the natural cask strength of 59.3% ABV, with no chill-filtration or colour added. 496 bottles were produced.
Simon's notes: This is a big and lively malt scotch whisky, with plenty of oak spice, raisins & chocolate. The high ABV is bright, but balanced by the rich oak character, and highlights the ginger and cinnamon spice notes.
Distilled 1998, bottled 2024.
