The nose came on with a water splash and some breathing in the glass. Light on the tongue where the florals appear. A bit more peat smoke in the finish than I usually like, but certainly more robust and assertive that it should be at this very good price.
An introductory scotch that's full of flavor. Seeing this amongst a sea of Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Macallan, Whyte & Mackay, and Chivas, I chose this scotch one night. At $22 dollars a bottle, I figured worse case it will go into my party rack on my bar. However, it went straight into my personal rack. This scotch was more akin to a 60 dollar single malt. The perfect amount of smoke and peat to close the night. Not too heavy on the pallet, but perfectly balanced. Just like a good scotch should be. I would happily share this amongst my whiskey snobs.
Enough port to enjoy with cheese! I’m surprised that the tasting notes don’t mention port specifically.
There are some reviews for this which must be confusing it with something else, it’s light and not peaty. Good for the price, fairly simple but it is £20, so what can you expect.
I can’t believe all the bad reviews I’m reading. This is not harsh in the slightest. Really nice easy drinking. No strong flavours. Cheap as chips. Not my first and won’t be my last glen moray.
