Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

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.

Agreed. Underlooked, low priced, quality scotch.
