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.
For the money its great value and a good quality whisky. Easy to drink. The guy who made the comment about "it smells bad " maybe your nose is to close to your ass
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
