Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish 70cl

Speyside single malt with a sherry cask finish is basically a cheat code for instant depth, and this one nails it. You get that bright, honeyed Glen Moray core, then the sherry barrels roll in with dried fruit, gentle spice, and a nutty warmth that makes every sip feel like the “one more pour” decision.

If you like your whisky friendly but with layers to chase, this is the sweet spot. The sherry influence doesn’t drown the malt, it just upgrades it. More fruit. More richness. More of that dessert-cart vibe without turning into syrup.

• Nose: Honeyed malt, baked apple, raisin, orange zest, and a light toastiness (like warm pastry crust).
• Taste: Caramel, dried fruit, cinnamon, and toasted almond, with a rounded, cosy mouthfeel.
• Finish: Lingering orange peel, soft spice, and a gentle nuttiness that hangs around just long enough.

This is the kind of Speyside whisky that works for two moods. Pour it when you want something easy-going and comforting, or use it when your cocktail needs more body than a basic highball whisky. It brings baked-fruit richness to a Whisky Sour, gives an Old Fashioned a darker, raisiny edge, and makes a classic Rob Roy feel instantly more “after dinner.”

What makes the sherry cask finish matter is how it shapes the flavour without demanding homework. Sherry-seasoned wood tends to push notes like raisin, fig, orange peel, and nutty spice, and you can taste those ideas clearly here. It’s a straightforward, delicious way to understand why people chase sherried single malts in the first place.

If you’re building a home bar, this bottle earns shelf space because it covers a lot of ground. It scratches the Speyside itch (malt, honey, orchard fruit) and still brings that sherry-cask personality when you want something richer and more dessert-leaning.

Fun Fact: Glen Moray has a deep connection to Speyside’s River Lossie, the distillery has long used its water as a key part of their whisky-making.
