Glen Moray 34 Year Old Tasting Notes
Nose: Creamy vanilla, victoria sponge cake with lots of strawberry jam along with red apples glazed with brown sugar. Fresh mint and lime peel along with white chocolate make for a very complex nosing experience.
Palate: Clean and crisp, refreshing notes of citrus and apple pie. Caramel and toffee partner well to provide a depth of sweetness and character. Lots of sherry and marzipan along with a dusting of icing sugar and cinnamon sticks. Rounded, rich mouthfeel with a good helping of oily texture.
Finish: Vanilla and strawberry jam return on the finish as does the white chocolate. Creamy yet rich this expression dives deep into the sherry sweetness giving dried oak, fresh pine and lots of winter fruits. Exceptional depth along with being robust yet pleasant and easy drinking.
About this Duncan Taylor Octave
This is a 34 year old Glen Moray distilled in 1988. Duncan Taylor moved the whisky into a small sherry octave cask for a nine month finishing period. These small casks (around 60 litres) have a big impact on flavour. And being a small cask, it only produced 87 bottles of this very exclusive whisky.
