Glen Moray 2016/2021 ‘Rye Cask End’ (46.3%, OB, Curiosity Version, 1637 bottles) 
This child was completed in some Kentucky rye whisky casks, which signifies that that was not obligatorily 100% rye (American rye have to be distilled from 51 % rye or extra). Color: white wine. Nostril: the nostril feels ‘sweeter’ than normal, much less malty, extra floral, and moderately spicier and breadier, with then cups and cups of maple syrup and honey taking on after ten seconds. There positive is a few vanilla, additionally allspice and cinnamon cake, additionally recent sawdust, however stability has been maintained regardless of the very younger age. Mouth: no feeling of Scottish bourbon, moderately a honeyed sweetness, some apple liqueur, some recent oak and associated spices, and maybe a drop of Southern Consolation. Yep. Oh and cinnamon rolls. End: medium, nonetheless candy, by no means precisely oaky or too spicy. Feedback: excellent fashionable stylistic composition (given the age). Are our associates the Scots going to turbo-charge like this all their malt whiskies sooner or later? Time-to-market 5 years, my goodness!

Glen Moray 32 yo 1989/2021 (52.8%, Berry Bros & Rudd for HNWS, barrel, cask #5217) 
It is true that we have tried some splendid outdated official Glen Morays prior to now, such because the 1960 or the flabbergasting 1974/2002 ‘Supervisor’s Selection’ (WF 94!) So, with confidence and élan… Color: straw. Nostril: very mushy, all on barley, tangerines, Danishes, mirabelle jam, quince jelly, acacia honey, oak sugars, even a little bit candyfloss maybe, recent bark, recent sliced button mushrooms, marzipan, amaretti… It’s actually changing into advanced, in all softness. With water: just about no adjustments. Maybe a little bit extra grist and porridge, bread and all that. Mouth (neat): actually tight, on candy herbs, acidic apples and grapefruits. Lazy casks do lively whiskies, they are saying (not too positive about that saying, although). With water: some candy barley goodness, dried apples and pears, apple pie, drops of amontillado (yep we have observed it was a barrel) and a number of nougat. Nougats of every kind. End: medium, a tad extra natural, beautifully malty and simply by no means oaky. Some tea with a splash of milk, as our pricey associates in England do. Feedback: a mannequin of barley-y complexity and magnificence. It is true that this child wasn’t that outdated, in spite of everything.
