Glen Moray 1998 23 Year Old Barolo Cask, Warehouse 1
This expression, the second release in the 2021 line-up of warehouse 1 whiskies, is a bottling of Glen Moray distilled in 1998 and matured for over 23 years, first in ex Bourbon casks before being transferred into three ex Barolo casks for finishing. The resulting whisky yields decadent notes of caramel chocolates & toffee combined with plums, figs and dark fruits covered in cream. This all gently fades out to leave a lovely warming and lingering taste of honey in the finish.
The whisky is as usual bottled at cask strength, non chill filtered and presented in natural colour.
Exclusive to the UK
One of only 863 bottles available.
Bottled at a cask strength of 52.9% abv
Tasting notes:
Nose: An initial combination of sweet toffee and floral rose fades into a decadent aroma of caramel chocolates.
Palate: Opens with a big hit of tannic intensity. Leather and wood combine creating a whisky of great stature which slowly starts to dissipate allowing sweeter elements to shine: toffee drizzled figs, dark plum fruits and blackberries drizzled in cream.
Finish: A gentle profile of thick runny honey.
