Tasting
Nose
The first impression is sweet and inviting, like a hint of candy floss. A scent of sun-ripened orange followed by a gentle embrace of vanilla and caramel spreads. A drop of coffee rounds off the flavour profile, subtle yet remarkable.
Palate
The Glen Moray reveals a powerful presence of ethanol, which quickly gives way to a rich sweet flavour. Flavours such as juicy banana chips and a pleasant malt tone take over. An oaky spiciness unfolds in the mouth, accompanied by a silky, buttery mouthfeel.
Finish
The finish is of medium length, a delicate note of liquorice chocolate remains.
Verdicts
Marcel
This Glen Moray Fired Oak 10 Years brings genuine drinking pleasure to the glass with its sweet vanilla and fruity notes – a character that’s more fun than its older sibling. For great value for money, it’s a dram that really lifts your spirits with its bourbon oak influence.
Sascha
The Glen Moray Fired Oak 10 Years impresses with its balanced structure and the exciting interplay of sweetness, malt, and subtle oak spice. The moderate alcohol strength and medium-length finish deliver a well-focused Speyside malt that offers solid quality at a fair price.
