This 12-year-old single malt from Glen Moray was distilled in 2008 and released in 2020 as a single-cask bottling at cask strength. It was matured in a first-fill Oloroso quarter cask, a style of cask influence that typically gives whisky a richer, more concentrated wood and sherry character.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller and more assertive style than Glen Moray’s lighter everyday releases. The higher strength and Oloroso cask treatment suggest a profile leaning toward dried fruit, spice, and oak, with added intensity from the smaller cask format.
