Glen Moray 17 Year Old 2009 Soho Selection 54.3% 70cl

Glen Moray 17 Year Old 2009 54.3% 70cl

Energetic, vibrant and richly spiced, this energetic single malt from Speyside’s Glen Moray is a rambunctiously fun sip. Drawn from a pair of ex-bourbon barrels, there’s a myriad of dense chocolatey notes enrobing orchard fruits, dried grass and sweet pastries. A hugely enjoyable and strikingly lively Scotch, and a perfect addition to our Soho Selection line-up.

Tasting notes:

Nose: Warming yet inviting, the nose opens with a rich spiciness, along with citrus, toffee, a bright oakiness, and the crunch of green apple. With time, rich cinnamon doughnut notes emerge, backed by cocoa powder, subtle florals and an intricate dried hay note. With time, the oak softens giving way to shortbread, red berries and coconut.

Palate: Incredibly vibrant, chilli chocolate, black pepper and cinnamon gather first, backed by a basket-load of orchard fruits and sweet pastries. An earthier paprika note grounds it all. With water, a buttery texture builds with a warming nuttiness coming through.

Finish: Medium length with lingering toasted oak and warming baking spices.
