Tasting Notes
This single malt whisky, Canmore 12 Year Old, is a true gem that pays homage to the noble Scottish Canmore dynasty. Matured for a full dozen years in ex-bourbon barrels, it boasts a rich and inviting aroma reminiscent of chocolate buttons, buttered malt loaf, creamy vanilla, and crisp green apples. Upon taking a sip, you're greeted with a gentle cakey spice that builds on the palate, accompanied by soft barley and mellow oak notes, a touch of orange zest, and a hint of festive biscuits. The finish lingers delightfully, with delicate spice and floral vanilla pod intermingling with toasted oak, sweet biscuity malt, and a prickle of pepper. Named after the Gaelic term for "Great Chief," a nickname given to King Malcolm, this whisky is a true testament to Scottish heritage and craftsmanship, striking a perfect balance that makes it a versatile choice for sipping and mixing alike.
