Glen Moray Single Malt Scotch


Glen Moray Classic Single Malt Whisky...$21.99
Tasting Notes: 'Shortbread, butterscotch and lemongrass'
Colour: Light gold.
Nose: At full strength, the aroma is fragrant and lightly drying with warming malty notes. The first impression is of butterscotch and shortbread with fresh herbal/grassy notes. Lemon curd and meringue are discovered in the background.
Taste:  The mouthfeel is lightly spiced with a warming and gently mouth watering effect. Malty toffee sweetness is present throughout with blackcurrants and a fragrant citrus lemongrass tang.
Finish: Shortbread, fresh herbal notes (lemongrass) and the sweet spiciness of ginger marmalade.


Glen Moray 12 years old Single Malt Whisky....$29.99
Tasting Notes: 'Highland toffee, brambles and ginger marmalade'
Colour: Mid-golden
Nose: At full strength, the aroma is sweet, fruity and floral, exceptionally well-rounded and balanced in flavour, characteristic of this classic Speyside single malt. The first impression is of Highland toffee and candy floss with honeycomb and sweet malt notes. Herbal top notes are discovered with heather and brambles.
Taste: As befits a classic Speyside malt, the taste is smooth, warming and rounded with a good firm body. Lots of sweet, soft malty flavours evolve in the centre of the palate, surrounded by toffee and mouth watering fruits (blackcurrants and dried apricots). Boiling sweets reach the roof of the mouth before the emergence of liquorice, tea and nut oil.
Finish:  Toffee, blackcurrants and a hint of liquorice remains into the finish which is medium in length.



Glen Moray 16 years old Single Malt Whisky...$46.99
Tasting Notes: 'Dried fruit, chocolate and barley sugar'
Colour: Deep gold
Nose:  A rich and mature nose with a robust character. It is reminiscent of dried fruit, perhaps figs and raisins, mixed with chocolate and spices (cloves and boiling sweets). There is a hint of leather and linseed oil giving an overall impression of warmth and depth of character.
Taste:  Sweet, full and exceptionally well-rounded, the taste is smooth with a good firm body, meeting the expectations set from the rich, mature nose. The texture is gently oily and mouth-coating with chewy oak tannins. The flavour is initially of toffee, progressing to mint humbugs and barley sugar and followed by a hint of smoke and peat flavours.
Finish:  Medium to long finish with a flavour and texture reminiscent of barley sugar and humbugs.
