The 21-year-old Port Wood Finish is part of Glen Moray's Elgin Heritage range. This Speyside whisky is stored in American oak casks (ex-bourbon) and aged in Port casks from the Portuguese Douro Valley, giving it a smooth, fruity note.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit and vanilla emerge delicately. Mouth: A rich, creamy texture, with notes of cereal and caramel. Finish: A soft, lingering finish, leaving a light spicy touch on the palate.
Nose: A combination of malty notes, barley husks and smoked peanut skins with burnt toast, smoked raspberries and blackcurrant. There’s a hint of antiseptic as well, accompanied by burlap and just a tinge of cordite.
Taste: Charred meat, a hint of spent matches and cherry liqueur, as well as cured meats and black pepper. Touches of redcurrants and fresh rubber, as well as streaky bacon, wood smoke and smoke paprika powder.
Finish: Medium to long. More pepper, decent salinity and definitely more rubber
Nose: Honey, leather and gingerbread, followed by prunes and fresh lemon peel.
Mouth: Velvety texture, dark chocolate, tropical fruit and spice.
Finish: Long and mellow, with notes of vanilla and citrus.
