Càrn Mòr Glen Ord 2012 - 9YO Ruby Port Finish (47.5%)

This Glen Ord from 2012, bottled by Càrn Mòr, shows how a port finish can shift the direction of a younger whisky. The base remains light and fresh, while the ruby port cask adds darker, fruit-driven notes.

In the glass, it combines red fruits with fresher elements. Berries and cherries sit alongside apple and light malt, keeping the whisky open and balanced.

On the palate, that contrast continues. The fruit gains depth, supported by a touch of caramel and gentle spice, while the whisky keeps its liveliness. It feels smooth without becoming flat.

The finish is medium in length, with a lightly drying edge, soft spice and a trace of red fruit lingering.
