- Description
- Glen Moray's 1986 distillate spent most of its 25 years in ex-bourbon casks before finishing in port pipes, developing both a ruby hue and a subtle sweetness that complements the spicy character from the primary maturation. The bourbon cask foundation provides classic Speyside orchard notes and vanilla, while the port finish adds plum and gentle sweetness without overwhelming the spirit's balance. This appeals to those enjoying approachable, medium-bodied Speyside with elegant finishing cask influence.
