Glen Moray 12 Year

getting maybe some apple or pear notes, definitely fruity. Getting a beer taste on the tail, maybe that's the malt.

Brown sugar, very sweet, very Speyside vanilly. Little spicy, a little boring at the end, but ok scotch for beginner.

Sweet, citrus, toffee and vanilla.

Look: Fairly light, straw colored. Compared to the bourbon next to this whisky in my closet, this is looks like a light beer sans carbonation. Dark on the edges, alcohol legs that drip down, Glen Moray looks par for the course: Nose: A lot of toffee hits me from a distance, with some grape, pear, and other fruity notes. Sticking my nose into the glass further, I get more toffee, less fruit, and more malt/bread. Agitating the glass gives more floral and fruit smell. Palate: Bready, and fruity on the first sip. Some of the grape that I was picking up in the nose shows itself, followed by pear, caramel, toffee. Finish: Slight heat, fruity earthy finish is what I’m getting, and hangs on for a bit. Overall: I like this, and for less than $35 a bottle, this is a decent bargain pickup. Usually one of the cheaper single malts I see, Glen Moray 12 is worth a shot.
