Advantages: The pure smooth taste.

Disadvantages: Nothing.

On a cold windy and rainy night there is nothing I like better than to just lock the world out, switch the box on and relax with a nice whisky. The whisky of choice for me is more often than not a 12 year old malt called Glen Moray.

Glen Moray is a Speyside malt and in common with many Speyside malts the water used in the production of this spirit rises in the granite ranges inland and flows over the peat of the highlands before being drawn, I feel this adds to the smokiness of the finished product.

Many malts can still have the nip of a blended whisky as well as the over powering alcohol smell but with this exquisite malt you get a pure somewhat fruity aroma and a delicious smooth tasting whisky that dances on the taste buds rather than treading on them.

Glen Moray is matured in casks that were previously used to hold fine white wines and this helps to give it, its fruity nature and quite unique aroma, it is exceptionally light and very smooth just as a malt whisky should be yet it will still warm the mouth and indeed the throat on its way down but in a pleasant way not a harsh one.

If you do not like whisky but enjoy a malt (two entirely different things by the way), then I recommend trying this one and even if you have had malts in the past and perhaps not enjoyed them all that much them maybe still try a nip of this from your local and I think you will taste the difference straight away.

An excellent malt whisky that will set you back around £18 for a 70cl bottle. Best drunk over ice but you can add a splash of water to it to take the edge of if you can't drink it neat.

For me it is a small measure poured over a few ice cubes and sipped slowly...... Lovely!!

Summary: An excellent pure malt whisky!
