Glen Moray Peated - Elgin Classic Whisky 70cl

I first tasted Glen Moray in the 1980's whilst serving in the RAF in Moray (Along with many other Spey whiskies, what a posting!!). Have been drinking it ever since in it's various forms. Have also been to the distillery numerous times too!! This is an unpretentious, flavoursome offering, reasonably priced and a great introduction to peated malts. Enjoy, I know I will

Have been a fan of Glen Moray and have a few different from the distillery and liked them enormously for a long time and this peated version is all you would want in a whisky I have a few Islay whiskies and whilst not as powerful as say Lagavulin if you just want a very unpretentious tasty glass or wanting to taste what a decent wee drop of peated is like I can and would recommend this to anyone

A very nice dram, similar to an Islay Malt but not quite as peaty.
You won't be disappointed

Excellent Highland peated Whisky.
An absolute bargain, although it's not as complex as the Ardmore Legacy, it hits the spot with nothing more than an ice cube. Nice to see another peated whisky from the Highlands. After all, all whisky used to be peated, back in the day.

For that price it's worth every penny . Great Dram .Buy 2 .

C.: Bright golden
N.: Light and fresh in the beginning, citrus notes, late sandalwood incense and chemicals (floor maintenance). A hint of white pepper and tobacco ash, too.
P.: A surprisingly robust and solid entrance for 40%, nifty peat, brown sugar and bitter lemon, burnt wooden embers.
F.: Long and moreish, like having smoked a good cigar.
Conc.: Solid and simple as a good peated Highlands malt should be. Can't really compete with Islay drams (not as complex), but, hey, I think it doesn't want to.

C.: Bright golden
N.: Light and fresh in the beginning, lemon peel, citrus, some chemicals, floor maintenance, sandalwood incense and cigar ash.
P.: Strong and convincing entrance, lets you guess for more than 40%, later a subtle sweetness (brown sugar), bitter lemon
F.: Rather long, peaty and bitter wooden. Like having smoked a good cigar.

Great treat if your after a peated whiskey, I didn't expect it to be so peated. Almost Laphroaig/Ardbeg level. Great stuff :)

Received as a gift. Was not impress with its colour and bottle design. When I opened it. Super Surprise. It has a good nose. 1st sip -
Slightly smokey, good variety of notes. (Too) Sweet aftertaste. About 60% smoothness. Very nice. Suits my taste very well.
When I found out the actual price. It’s really very good value for money. Ordered 3 more bottles.

Nice single malt and a real bargain at the price. Good choice for those looking to try varieties of Scotland's whisky. This is NOT for the water it down and mix with cola crowd!
