Glen Moray 23 Years (1996-2019) 49,7% Asta Morris

Glen Moray 23 yo 1996 (49,7%, Asta Morris 2019, ex-bourbon cask, 189 btl.)

Nose: a bright profile, with green bananas and white plums, waxy lemons and cake. Chamomile. Sweet bready notes (dough) and barley. Light grassy touches and vanilla custard. A blossomy edge too. Classic white oak, I’d say.

Mouth: same freshness. Plenty of barley notes again, mirabelles, sweet lemon and apples. A hint of limoncello perhaps. Hints of fragrant oak with green spices. Less special than the nose.

Finish: medium, on pepper
