Why I chose this
Many people know Glen Moray as a friendly, affordable Speyside malt. This Cadenhead single cask shows how much finesse that spirit has when it is left to mature undisturbed in a single bourbon cask for sixteen years. I pour it on a Sunday afternoon, with a jug of water within reach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should you add to this cask-strength Glen Moray?
Start with a few drops and taste after each addition. This single cask was bottled undiluted, so its strength is higher than a standard bottling; the exact ABV varies by cask and is shown on the label. A little water opens up the green apple, honey and blossom and softens the alcohol.
How does this single cask differ from a regular Glen Moray?
This bottle comes from a single ex-bourbon cask from 2007, not vatted with other casks. Cadenhead bottled it at cask strength, without chill filtration or colouring. A standard distillery bottling is a mix of many casks. Here you taste the spirit pure and unadulterated, with the individuality of that one cask.
Is this Glen Moray suitable for beginners?
In terms of flavour, yes: green apple, vanilla and a fresh, elegant finish are very approachable. Only the cask strength needs a little care. If you are just starting out, it is best enjoyed with some water. That way you also learn how a whisky changes as you dilute it.
