Review of the
Glen Moray Elgin Heritage Collection 12
year old.
 As
the Glen Moray distillery has just
celebrated its 120th anniversary of
whisky making on the 13th September I
thought I what better time is there than
now to take a look at a few whiskies
from their core range.
The Glen Moray 12 year old is the
youngest of three whiskies in the
Speyside distillery's Elgin Heritage
Collection, it was matured exclusively
in American oak, bottled at 40% ABV and
is usually priced around £35.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Gentle malt with a sweet
vanilla icing sugar edge, the slightest
touch of lemon and just the
mildest touch of grassy notes.
Taste: Delicious mouth coating
malt and toffee vanilla custard is
joined by some oak and the lemon from
the nose is joined by a touch of
lime.
Finish: Long, the sweet vanilla
and malt fades leaving some gentle
mildly drying oak.
Comment: A lovely balance between the
malt, sweet
vanilla, a touch of fruit and just the
slightest grassy notes.
If you like malty rich Speyside
whiskies you will like this, a
quality very easy drinking Speyside
dram. I would love to see this bottled
at higher strength as I think it could
be very good indeed at 46% to 50% ABV,
still a very good value dram at its 40%
bottling strength.
SMW Score 86/100
You will find the
Glen Moray 12 year old along with the
rest of the current Glen Moray whisky
range available from specialist online
whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop and
