Glen Moray 16 Year Old Whisky 70cl

A very good single malt which is tasty to the tongue rich in flavour and refreshing

After having the classic and the 12 year figured this was the logical next step. Quite a step up I must say, at 16 years it loses it's youthful spirity taste and becomes incredibly smooth and delicate. Definitely lots of toffee , bit of sweet orange peel, vanilla, salted caramel, and a hint of apple preserves with a nice long pleasant finish. I would probably give it a 9 if it were botled at 43% but it's only 40% so it gets an 8. Still good enough to where you don't need to mix it with pepsi I think ;). The Sugarbear

Umami was how will think of this dram. Mushroom the dominant character on the nose with a most pleasant liquorice/fennel note to clean everything up. Love distinctive notes in my drama and this certainly passes that test.

The Balvenie TC has more subtle flavors but the flavors were more noticeable on the Glen Moray, Otherwise quite similar in flavor profile imo. Sherry, citrus, and very very smooth. (16 years, duh)

Damn autocorrect. Melkpoeder = mellowed out

This is a quite nice, easy going sweet Speysider. I suspect that this would have had tangy oak notes at a youger age, but that aspect of it has turned into a liquorice-ishness with age which is quite pleasant. The fruit notes mentioned by the MoM chaps allude me but having a slight cold might be the cause of that. No water needed at all with this one at 40% as the alcohol has well melkpoeder out in maturation. All in all: Nicely balanced and well behaved with a very agreeable but not too complex taste. Might have been better at a higher ABV, but at 33€ I will not be complaining.

Best scotch whiskey I ever recall drinking

Bought 25 bottles for a wedding in sri Lanka, every drop was savoured with Pepsi by our guests. Thankyou david morris of glen moray,

Wife gave me a bottle for Valentines, this is an exceptionally smooth Speysider...light and sweet with just a touch of spice. Better and more interesting than Macallan 12 for the same price. I don't think this will be my last bottle of GM16.
