Frost always gets excited when a bottle comes through the door. Not that we are lushes or anything. We just like a wee dram. We got send The Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish which came with these words from the PR:“The Glen Moray prides itself on providing a range of excellent quality single malt whiskies at an excellent
price. Yes, they come from Speyside and yes, they are the 6th biggest selling single malt whisky brand
in the UK but they do not charge high prices because they understand the position that Glen Moray
has strived to achieve and they are proud to offer value.
NEW GLEN MORAY SHERRY CASK FINISH IS AN EXCELLENT QUALITY SINGLE MALT WHISKY AT
AN EXCELLENT PRICE
The Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish offers a new twist on the traditional Glen Moray taste-profile
by adding layers of rich and spicy sweetness to the spirit’s typically light and floral flavours of
butterscotch and lemongrass. Sherry Cask Finish is a celebration of the age old tradition of maturing
whisky in the finest Oloroso sherry casks.”
But what did we think? We loved it.This whisky is from Elgin, the capital of Speyside, Scotland’s most famous whisky region. Burnished gold in colour, with toffee candy, dried fruits and cinna on the nose, this whisky has a gloriously long finish and just the right amount of sweetness. Eat with shortbread or fruit cake. We reckon it would also go well with red meat. A very fine whisky indeed.
Available from Sainsbury’s and sainsburys.co.uk price £22.00.
