Glen Moray were one of the first distillery's to experiment with Port casks, with this epression joining their Elgin Classic range of affordable no age statement releases back in 2014. It's treated to an 8 month finishing period in Tawny Port casks before being bottled.
Creamy vanilla at the fore, joined by jammy redcurrants and blackberry. Toasted oak touches in the background.
Butterscotch candies, golden barley and a touch of cinnamon. The port cask influence comes through with light notes of raisins and freshly picked red berries.
Rather long, with honey, vanilla and a dusting of cocoa.
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
