Glen Moray 12 year old

12 year-old Glen Moray, 40%, color is amber. Some very slight hints of smoke (very slight, indeed), some honey and fruity aromas (pears!) and… traces of soap (?). I like to smell the empty glencairn on the next day when the alcohol is gone and the flavors remain in the glass: Here the Glen Moray reveals its discreet maltiness with traces of pears. Taste has some sweetness, not too much. The fruitiness stays on the tongue, but fades away relatively quickly. This whisky has some potential and is easy to drink, but for a 12-year-old it is a tad unfinished. Glen Moray was owned by Glenmorangie (well, that’s LVMH - Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), but now is part of La Martiniquaise that produces the Glen Turner Single (?) Malt. Let’s see how the whisky will handle all these changes – hopefully as a more full-bodied whisky, maybe as a beefed-up 43% version on the market.
