Glen Moray 1984 Bot 2004

This 1984 Limited Edition is an official bottling from 2004, making it a 20 Year Old. Alas (well, who knows?) bottled only at 40% ABV.

The nose starts off pretty pleasant. Sweet on summer fruit, slightly floral with quite a bit of caramel. Apple, pear, mandarin, apricots and pineapple. Fruity fellow.

The attack is rather weak and somewhat watery and has a very hard time fulfilling the promise of the nose. Pity. Again apples and apricots, hardly any spices and loads of oak. The tannine makes it somewhat drying, although it never turns oaky.

The finish is the best part, in which the pepper and oak give it some punch at last.

I would gladly put this on the table as an aperitif, although it may be a tad to expensive for that (65 EUR is not too much for a 20 year old whisky, of course, but in this case you get a little bang for your buck). Thanks, Arnout!
