Glen Moray now has a NAS bottling, really? Who doesn't these days? Oban maybe? I don't know, but lets have a go at this. Think I've read somewhere that Glen Moray uses primarily ex wine oak, could be interesting. The color is pale straw, perhaps natural color, a positive! It smells big on ginger and chopped onions, some lemongrass and hints of mint as well, a vegetal whisky! It's light and easy at first, no off-notes, but seems very young and distillate driven. The taste is burnt, hints of sour leaves, tobacco, ginger, rhubarb, chestnuts, white beans. It's not a bad dram, it's just underdeveloped, I think it reminds me a bit of gin. Unfortunately, I believe I'm now sitting with the future for most working class whisky drinkers, for this could've been great with a couple more years on oak. With added water it collapses into a mild minty aperitif style drink. There is very little to non finish.
More wood please: 4
