Michael Jackson
75- Nose
- Pears, walnuts, fresh oak.
- Palate
- Pears in cream; late, lively, peachy fruitiness. Garden mint
- Finish
- Raisiny, also resiny. Fresh oak, soothing warmth.
- Comment
- Smooth body, beeswax-like. The wine adds an element, but many loyalists will miss the previous version.
Jim Murray
80- Nose
- Altogether richer, more strident and confident. The wine effect is astonishing: sweet, overripe grapes balanced by a fabulous malty echo. Intriguingly smoky, too.
- Palate
- Soft and velvety on the palate. Charming spicy notes add to a complexity unusual for a Glen Moray.
- Finish
- Soft cocoa notes and some drying oak. The winey effect seems to linger while the spice battles to the end.
- Comment
- Glen Moray 12 Years Old used to be a bastion of ultra-malty simplicity. No more. Chenin Blanc barrels have added a delightful dimension.
