Scotland, 40%
The flagship Glen Moray from the distillery's age statement Elgin Heritage range. Unlike many of their releases, there is no finish or unusual casks used here, instead this 12 year old is aged exclusively in American oak casks. A pleasing and affordable Speyside single malt.
Nose: Crisp green apple skin, rhubarb boiled sweets, buttery shortbread, with subtly herbaceous oak developing.
Palate: Chewy barley with a drizzle of syrup, a touch of apricot and crushed honey-roasted nuts.
Finish: White chocolate and oak.
