Single Malt — Islands, Scotland

Morrison & MacKay's Càrn Mòr range has become a reliable source of young quality malts which do not break the bank. Distilled in 2008 and matured in a bourbon barrel, this 9-year-old Tobermory features a fresh and vivid nose. Tinned pears, pineapple and cut flowers intermingle with pastries, cinnamon and hints of salt. Sour and gingery in the arrival, the development accentuates currants, grapefruit and distant honey sweetness with a touch of dry oak. Lemon zest, nutmeg and bitter green tea linger in the moderate finish. A nice spirit-driven whisky!

Has anyone else tasted other Càrn Mòr bottlings which are worth a try? I think they are pretty good value for money.
Additional information: Bottled at 46% ABV, natural color and non-chill filtered with an out-turn of 316 bottles. Thumbs up for the one-digit age statement!
