Glen Moray 12 Years Old
Review by Dooendhaif
- Color
- A pale straw with a slight golden shimmer.
- Nose
- Extremely floral. Prominent notes of honey.
- Body
- Definitely not watery, but not what I would call thick or full-bodied. A pleasantly flowing texture which covers the mouth nicely.
- Palate
- Sweet. Very, very sweet. Only the slightest, most microscopic bit of smokiness was to be found on this one, and that only after a discerning mid-palate evaluation. Honey is dominant.
- Finish
- Perhaps a bit too smooth. There is no pleasant warming, nor is there any invigorating tingling to be found in this whisky.
From a historical perspective and after reading diligently on the subject, this seems to be a good example of the Speyside region (coming from a Scotch whisky beginner). Light, fruity, floral, very easy. I would recommend this whisky to anyone interested in getting their first taste. Very introductory in all aspects, though not unpleasant. Glen Moray 12 Year is light, fun entry which is approachable to even the most novice of whisky drinkers.

Review by Jdbuckeye2009
- Color
- Straw with a bit of honey
- Nose
- Strong honey notes. Hint of sweet white wine.
- Body
- Medium to full body. Somewhat oily in a pleasant way.
- Palate
- Extremely sweet, and seems to get sweeter after the first few pours. Dominant honey flavor, along with some melon. White wine taste from the casks is noticeable. Almost no trace of peat or smoke.
- Finish
- Fairly short. The honey flavor lasts a little while, but there is absolutely no warming.
I think this whisky is best for beginners. It is extremely approachable and the flavors are pleasant, albeit a bit boring. The sweetness seems to be overpowering when you are on your third or fourth pour. I'll probably use the rest of the bottle to introduce friends to whisky. I would advise against using it in a mixer in sweet scotch drinks like a rusty nail because it is so sweet.

As a value for money proposition this is a terrific scotch. Quite sweet with a medium body it is an ideal introduction to single malts.

- Finish
- Mellow long lasting friendship with the palette
An interesting single malt with a complex nose. A mild easy first taste with a pleasant lasting taste I prefered slightly chilled using stones not ice however pressed does release a softer side of a already soft spoken scotch. I was dry pleased to stumble upon it and will keep a bottle in my larder
