Glenallachie 2013/2022 Carn Mor 8 years old PX Sherry Hogshead Cask Single Speyside Malt Whisky 47,5%

PX sherry casks are known for lending whisky a deep, almost jammy sweetness, and when a GlenAllachie spirit is allowed to rest eight years in one, the result balances power and sweetness well. This bottle comes from independent bottler Càrn Mòr, part of their Strictly Limited series.

Expert's Description

Glenallachie 2013/2022 Càrn Mòr 8 Year PX Sherry Hogshead is a Single Speyside Malt Whisky at 47.5%, distilled in 2013 and matured for 8 years in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead cask, bottled by independent bottler Càrn Mòr, part of Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers.

The Càrn Mòr Strictly Limited series is known for gathering smaller cask parcels from a wide range of Scottish distilleries and bottling them at a fixed strength of 47.5%, without chill filtration and without added colour. This release is limited to 1,296 bottles, making it a relatively rare representative of GlenAllachie's spirit.

The PX cask — short for Pedro Ximénez — is well known in the sherry world for its dark, jammy sweetness, and it leaves clear marks on both colour and flavour when used for whisky maturation.

Dark sherry tones, jammy fruit and a hint of spiced warmth from the cask.
