Tasting Notes: Glen Moray: Distillery Bourbon Cask

Glen Moray Bourbon Single Cask 1995: Bottled At Distillery (Scottish Whisky: Cask Strength Single Cask Speyside Single Malt: 14 Year: 60.7% ABV)

Visual: Just slightly cloudy yellow gold. Light in colour.

Viscosity: Quick thin trails.

Nose: Very strong and sharp initially, slight detergent nose before water is added.

Body: Very sweet and string; choc chip cookies. Touch of malt chocolate and barley; syrup.

Finish: Alcohol punch; dry shortbread. Wholemeal cheese cracker and dry powder. Light.

Conclusion: Simple but punchy. Definitely benefits from water and has a brilliant cookie style body. Would go brilliantly with jam sponge.

A nice cask strength for those who don’t like the sharper edges. Not perfect, simple and direct to good effect.
