Glen Moray 13, 2010-2024, Tokaji Wine Finish, 56% –
I was a bit surprised by the spelling of Tokaji, but apparently you can spell it with and without an I at the end. Anyway, I don’t have much experience with this type of cask. I know the Longrow from … Continue reading
Glen Moray 14, 2007-2021, Hogshead 6305, 51.7% – Catawiki
Catawiki released this series of ‘Catawhisky’ last year for their avid auction bidders. I believe it was stated that the first 1000 people to spend € 1000 on their auction site would get a batch of samples from this. What … Continue reading
Glen Moray 10, 2007, Bourbon Barrel, 46% – Alba Import
Glen Moray is one of those distilleries that tends to have a style that is fairly generic. It makes a perfectly decent Speyside style whisky, but often it doesn’t really make memories. However, some times what comes from the Elgin … Continue reading
Glen Moray 11, 2008-2020, Refill Oloroso Puncheon, 64.9% – SMWS (‘Stirs your soul’)
Whether it stirs your soul or puts a blowtorch to it is to be seen. A whisky at 65% alcohol is not something to take lightly, and especially not as a first dram of the day. Of course, I didn’t, … Continue reading
Glen Moray 13, 2007-2021, Barrel 5952, 58.8% – Archives
Glen Moray, to me, is pretty much a blank canvas. As in, the spirit is very gentle and sweet and gives a lot of play room for the cask to interact with the spirit. Unfortunately, that also means there are … Continue reading
Glen Moray 1992-2018, 25yo, Bourbon Hogshead, 52.5% – Cadenhead
I generally quite like Glen Moray. Especially from independent bottlers, because the official bottlings tend to be rather too soft and gentle, almost a bit flat. Of course, they bottle all kinds of randomness at the distillery through the Distillery … Continue reading
Glen Morey 1977-2012, Bourbon Hogshead MoS 12021, 52.1% – Malts of Scotland
Yes, Glen Morey. At least, that’s according to the label. Malts of Scotland is famous for two things in my book: great whisky and typos on labels. “Images of Bartstown”, anyone? Anyway, this 1977 Glen Moray was bottled almost a … Continue reading
Glen Moray 11, 55.2% – Kyrburg Selection
A very random bottling for a German whisky museum. Why Kyrburg would have a whisky museum is beyond me, but apparently it’s a thing. I got a sample from this last week, in a glass, and I had to quickly … Continue reading
De Whiskykoning’s Summer Whisky Tasting, 2020 edition
Rob Stevens, proprietor of Whiskyslijterij De Koning hosts four seasonally themed tastings each year. As in, there are four themes, but there are way more tastings. He can only fit 11 people in his tasting room, so there’s three tastings … Continue reading
Glen Moray 24, 1992-2017, 50.9% – Cadenhead
Glen Moray is one of those distilleries that make an amazing spirit, but in their own releases there’s often so much done to it, that it loses its greatness. A quick search on the internet reveals there’s a Cabernet, Sherry, … Continue reading
