Glen Moray Classic Port Cask Finish

Four stars is definitely taking in to account the price . Nothing outstanding but to get some of the port Finnish I crave sometimes at under 30 dollars is pretty great . Simple flavors not a long finish but onc
e again ..... under 30 dollars

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this one. I'd tried Glen Moray 10 year in the past, so when I saw this one on sale I thought I'd give her a go. Quite tasty for the price point and highly recommended!

The Port cask finish has added a sweet fruity dimension to the young classic Glen Moray, an easy drinking Port Cask finished whisky which I cant fault at the price.

Yes, it's NAS and probably young, but I'll forgive that easily, considering it's an excellent dessert whisky. Very sweet. Vanilla and even slight fruity and chocolat-y notes on the nose. Caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, lemon and spices on the palate. Excellent for such a low-price NAS.

To get all of the flavours and negative responses , what is it you eat and drink?
I found it pleasant

Great starting point to any flight.

Vanilla custard on the nose along with a chemical-candy-flavouring-blueberry and apricot yogurt smell. I don't really like that.
Tastes better than it smells. It has flavors that I wouldn't associate with a simple single malt whisky, but also not with port or sherry cask finishes.
Finishes sweet, whiff of oak perhaps. Not too long.

You know it's a cheap bottle, especially for a port cask finish. But i wouldn't buy again personally.

This whiskey is Non Age Statement (NAS), meaning it is probably matured a number of years that won't be a selling point on the label. Having said that, the fruity notes and subtle winy aftertaste are present and distinct, but negatively influenced by the harsh alcoholic feeling due to its young age.

My bottle was recently opened, and I'm sure it will mellow out in the coming weeks, making this young but unique dram more pleasant as it goes.

Probably the cheapest single malt with a port finish that can be found.

Color: Lovely light pinkish (in the glass).
Nose: Very light and fresh, red fruits, sweet and sour, way more pleasant than you would expect in such a young whisky.
Taste: Everything you would expect from the nose, fresh sour and sweet red fruits (raspberry and maybe some hints of strawberry) and goes down fairly smoothly, the finish is medium long. The Port influence is a bit superficial but presents enough to make a difference.

This whisky, in my opinion, gives more than you would expect. However, I'm not familiar with the Classic bottling of Glen Moray so a good comparison between the 2 can not be made.

All in all, great value for your money. Great for drinking around a bonfire or in the summer.

It's okay, but for me without any particular taste that I would identify with port wine and otherwise a tad too harsh on my tongue. In short, it's a reasonably good ordinary Speyside Scotch Whisky.

Front comes with butterscotch and apples and finds blackberries and cinnamon nice even spice with the smooth heat. It is a come back to steady friend. Absolutely worth the price.

Nice and rich and well worth it's price. One of the better Moray's for me.

It's feels a bit rough around the edges. I bought it on the back of their Chardonnay cask finish which I think is something different and pretty tasty to boot. This one feels a bit harsh on the palate, a little to young perhaps, it almost feels a bit rushed.
