If the Tomatin from Wednesday if finished then looking for a new Christmas dram goes on. This Glen Moray could very well be a good option.

In a Whisky world full of Premiumisation Strategies Glen Moray is a welcome tonic of French owned well crafted affordable whisky. All the whiskies from this distillery I have tried or owned have been great from the cheapest to the most expensive I have never said non to a dram from this distillery.

The Whisky

If all Glen Moray’s are good then a little tip is to know if the packaging looks like the above with the silver front then this is the extra cool stuff. The real Enthusiast choice for want of a better expression.

This one is bottled with all the boxes ticked; natural colour, cask strength, non-chill filtered, full matured Oloroso sherry matured and a distillation date in 2014. Bottles are still available at under £80.

Tasting Notes

Colour	Mahogany
Nose	Candied nuts, gingerbread and the unmistakeable sherry notes
Palate	more gingerbread notes, buttery toast and stewed soft fruits in alcohol. the best type of stewed fruits of course
Finish	toasted almonds and a long orange finish

Final Thoughts

Ok, this could be the Christmas dram. I wonder if I will find anything else to better it?
