The unpeated model presents dessert-like layers of toffee, brown sugar, and vanilla fudge, whereas the peated dram provides smoky complexity with notes of treacle, charred oak and a maple-glazed savoury richness.
Based over 125 years in the past on the banks of the River Lossie, Glen Moray has established itself as a grasp of cask exploration. These new bottlings are priced at £90 and restricted to simply 200 bottles every.
