Single malt Scotch whisky from the Glen Moray distillery in Speyside, which has been treated to a finishing period in sherry casks, giving it a generous helping of Speyside sherried yumminess. Dig in.
Raisin and milk chocolate, with a backbone of butterscotch sweeties.
Cinnamon starts to develop on the palate, giving it an enjoyable warmth. Still rich in caramel and butterscotch.
Medium length, with a hint of five-spice.

Pleasant desert companion to moo an apple dumpling to marry the cinnamon and allow the sip of Classic Sherry Cask to linger
Got this for $35 recently and I definitely wouldn't pay any more for it but it's not bad at all. It's a pretty young whisky and you can definitely tell but if it sits in the glass for a little bit it seems to calm down a bit and allow raisin and honey notes to come through. A decent after dinner dram for a reasonable price with a short but smooth finish. Personally I prefer the age statement bottles from this distillery but this is a good introduction to Glen Moray ( as is the classic). Cheers! The Sugarbear
Glen Moray has been a favourite of mine for a long time. This expression is very drinkable in fact just a bit too much so. Caramel and buttterscotch Mmm Mmm--------. Amazing value price point as well.
So... not a bad little malt at all. Not brilliant or earth shattering but not bad... The standard Glen Moray is just a bit too simple to excite, some of the older options dried out, and the port cask... well, there needs to be a line drawn in Scotland, and Portuguese barrels is it. However.... Jerez/Sherry is a different deal. Just as port is OOOH so wrong, sherry & whisky just works, especially Oloroso. So, this little number has some sweet fruity notes, a little touch of toffee, noticeable sherry input and a little alcoholic lift. The palate actually reminds me of a sauternes... that sweetness, the toffee/caramel, but a dry finish. The sherry character is there but muted. So, a nice drop. Others are better & others are worse. Happy to drink this as an everyday tipple. Offers excellent VFM. It shows touches of greatness - some of the 'Morangies come to mind, maybe that 12 YO Macallan courtesy of that sherry input - but it is still an entry level. Solid, sound, go for it because even as an entry level product, it IS good, easy & easy to just enjoy for its own sake
I could not believe how good this whisky was the first time I had it. It is as one would expect a sherried whisky to be, only half the price. It's amazing.
