Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Clean malty sweetness, but also peatiness.
Palate
Light, fir, dry. Opens up with some luscious sweetness, but with a background of grainess, a hint of black chocolate, and delicately fragrant peatiness.
Finish
A firm, grainy, almost stony, finish, but leaving a lingering peaty fragrance.
Comment
Glen Moray has never been seen as a glamorous malt, but it gains mystery with maturity.

Doug McIvor

Nose
Rich deep honeyed and raisiny; ripe bananas, nutty and creamy.
Palate
Creamily smooth, sherryish, nutty and salty.
Finish
Very long, beautifully textured, gently warming with a little pepper and smoke at the tail.
Comment
Remarkably rich, smooth and refined. A classic Speyside.
