Review of Glen Moray 2003 Chardonnay
Single Cask No. 7670
The
Glen Moray 2003 Chardonnay Single Cask
No. 7670 is one of three new single cask
whiskies launched by the Speyside
distillery in July this year.
Distilled in 2003 and fully matured in a
ex-Chardonnay wine cask then bottled as it
came from the cask, non-chill filtered, naturally coloured and at a
cask strength of 58.9% ABV.
This single cask release is normally
reserved exclusively for distillery
visitors to purchase but due to the
ongoing Covid-19 and travel restrictions
in place the distillery has made all
three of their Glen Moray 2020
Distillery Edition whiskies available to
purchase via their Dial A Dram service,
simply give them a call on +44 (01343)
550900 if you want to get hold of a
bottle.
Priced at £85.
William
Morrison's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
Sweet vanilla toffee infused with
orange, pineapple and sultanas, a little
charred oak and a gentle pepperiness.
Taste:
A deliciously juicy, slightly barley
sugared, fruitiness fills the mouth,
raisin, sultana and pineapple, the
intensity of which is boosted by the
flavoursome ABV bottling strength, vanilla and a little peppery spice join
the party.
Finish:
The juicy fruit gives way to some lovely
spicy vanilla and peppery oak
spice which lingers for an age.
Comment:
If you are a fan of the Glen Moray NAS
Chardonnay Cask or 10 Year Old
Chardonnay Cask then you will love this,
the 17 years maturing and then being
bottled at cask strength has raised this
way above these two bottling's, both in quality and pleasure,
exactly what a Distillery Edition should
be.
