Càrn Mòr Williamson 9 Year Old 2015 is a striking expression from the Strictly Limited series, offering a smoky, sherried take on classic Islay whisky. Distilled at Laphroaig and matured for nine years in sherry hogsheads, the result is a dram that balances coastal peat fire with luscious dried fruit and rich sweetness.
It pours a deep amber colour. On the nose, you'll find smouldering campfire, sea spray and spiced dried fruit. The palate delivers bold peat smoke layered with treacle toffee, stewed plums and dark chocolate, while the finish is long, warming and slightly medicinal, with lingering sherry richness.
Taste
Nose: Smouldering peat fire, sea spray, dried fruit (pear, plum), and gentle spice.
Palate: Bold and smoky with layer upon layer: peat, treacle toffee, dried plums, dark chocolate, and a salty?maritime edge.
Finish: Long, warming and slightly medicinal, with the mellow richness of sherry and lingering smoke.
Drinking
This whisky is best sipped neat or with a small splash of water to coax out the dried fruit and sherry?cask warmth. It also stands up well over a large ice cube if you want to mellow the smoke slightly. A dram for contemplative sipping, particularly suited to lovers of smoky, sherried whiskies.
