This 19-year-old Glen Moray, bottled by North Star Spirits, is a beautiful Speyside whisky where elegance and richness go hand in hand. With a limited release of only 210 bottles and a robust alcohol percentage of 56.6%, this bottling offers an intense yet refined whisky experience.
Glen Moray is known for its accessible and fruity style, but in this expression, the distillate gains extra depth from maturation in an active cask. Its influence translates into a warm and layered character where creaminess, sweetness, and spiciness effortlessly complement each other. Despite its age, the whisky remains vibrant and surprisingly playful.
The higher alcohol percentage provides strength and structure, while simultaneously allowing room for nuance. With a few drops of water, the whisky opens up further, and the sweeter and more dessert-like notes become even more prominent.
A rich and inviting Speyside that will appeal to both lovers of classic elegance and more intense cask influences.
