Càrn Mòr Glen Elgin 6 Year Old 2017 is part of the Strictly Limited collection, bottled at 47.5% ABV. Distilled at Glen Elgin in 2017 and aged in first-fill bourbon casks, this young Speyside whisky brings a bright, fruit-led profile with clean, approachable character.
In the glass, it shows a light golden hue. The nose opens with juicy pear drops, crisp green apple, delicate floral notes and a hint of honeyed vanilla. On the palate, it’s smooth and lively, combining orchard fruit with malt, vanilla cream and soft oak. The finish is fresh and clean, with lingering sweetness, gentle fruit and a whisper of oaky warmth.
Taste
Nose: Bright pear candies, green apples, subtle floral blossom, and sweet vanilla.
Palate: Orchard fruit (pear, apple), soft malt, vanilla cream, gentle oak spice and honeyed tones.
Finish: Clean, crisp and gently sweet with lingering green fruit, vanilla, and light oak.
Drinking
This whisky is delightful neat — its youth and fruitiness shine on their own — but a drop of water will open up the orchard fruit and vanilla layers. It also serves well over a large ice cube for a slightly softer, more relaxed dram. Due to its fresh and accessible style, it can feature in lighter, whisky-centric cocktails (like a highball or a whisky sour) without overpowering.
About
Càrn Mòr is the independent bottling division of Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers, known for its Strictly Limited range: small-batch, young expressions with natural colour and no chill-filtration.
Glen Elgin distillery, based in Speyside, has a long history (established 1898) and is noted for its balanced, fruity spirit. This particular 2017 vintage was matured in first-fill bourbon casks, which helps preserve its fresh fruit character while adding sweet vanilla notes.
Notable: Bottled at 47.5% ABV, natural colour, and non-chill-filtered. The limited outturn (648 bottles) makes it a relatively rare and distinctive young Speyside expression.
