Glen Moray 7 Year Old 2006 Exclusive Range Creative Whisky Company

Glen Moray can be found on the edge of Elgin and is owned by the French company La Martiniquaise since 2008. We will be trying a single cask from the stocks of David Stirk’s Creative Whisky Company. He bottled the sherry cask in his Exclusive Range at 50% ABV. It is the youngest Glen Moray I have ever tried.

The nose is candy-like and floral. It reminds me of English liquorice, lavender and some leather. A bit of cumin and thyme give it a green tint, while rum-raisins offer some fruitiness.

The arrival is mouth coating and fairly piquant. Much more spices than the nose let on. Think nutmeg, black pepper and liquorice. Candied ginger too. Not a trace of the green herbs. The fruit is limited to some raisins and dried apricots. It becomes a tad bitter from the tannins.

That makes for a medium long finish that is fairly dry.

Pleasant young Glen Moray. Thanks, Wim.
