This Glen Moray single malt was distilled in 2007 and aged in an ex-bourbon barrel, yielding 225 bottles. Like an Old Fashioned cocktail garnished with orange zest and a luminous red cherry, the result is a lighthearted whisky that feels both classic and contemporary at the same time.

Nose: Tangerine juice, maraschino cherries, almonds and hazelnuts: a fruitcake cornucopia. Later, cinnamon and cumin warmed in a pan with melted butter.

Palate: Ick and chewy with a rich, bourbon-like sweetness and intensity. Lighter citrus notes follow with some nectarine and peach, creating a playful balance.

Finish: Flavours of milk chocolate and aromatic lime oil linger on the tongue. Spices gather at the end – cinnamon, clove – leaving a pleasing dryness.
