Living Souls Glen Moray 19 Year Old (70cl, 50.5%)

This is a 19 year old Glen Moray from Elgin in Speyside, bottled by the independent bottler Living Souls at 50.5%, in a 70cl bottle. Nearly two decades in the cask have given it depth, while the fruity, approachable character of Glen Moray remains, with orchard fruit, honeyed malt and vanilla alongside developed oak and gentle spice. The nose opens with ripe apples, poached pears and apricots, then honey, vanilla cream and sweet malt, with orange peel, butterscotch and toasted almonds emerging later. The palate is rich and rounded, with orchard fruit, peach, citrus, vanilla fudge and baking spices. The finish is long, with fruit, honey, vanilla, citrus peel and softly drying oak.
