Carn Mor 
Single malt - North Highlands 
Pale gold 
47.5% ABV
Dram

Nose: Lemon sweets, barley sugar, vanilla, cardamom, caramel, hints of liquorice. 
Mouthfeel: Light body, thickens, slippery, tingly. 
Tasting:  Sweet salty. Barley sugar, sea salt, vanilla, cardamom, fresh baked bread, iron filings, hints of marzipan. 
Finish: Short. Green tea, fresh baked bread, iron filings, hints of liquorice. 

Comments: 

Cereally and sweet, the highland peat character is gentle and faint, manifesting itself mainly in a savoury edge on the tongue, and perhaps a slightly meaty metallic note. Lovely. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
