Glen Moray 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Gianluca Ferro — Proper Speyside elegance

8/10

This is everything I want from an 18-year-old Speyside. Rich toffee and dried fruit on the nose, with a lovely honeyed warmth that lingers. At 47.2% it's got enough punch to hold up neat without being aggressive. Really well balanced dram.

Clara Johansson — My new go-to special occasion bottle

9/10

Bought this for my birthday and wow. The sherry influence is gorgeous — dark chocolate, stewed plums, a hint of cinnamon. That 47.2% ABV is the sweet spot, enough body to really coat the palate. For under a hundred quid this is punching well above its weight.

Priya Sharma — Good but not exceptional

7/10

Solid whisky, no question. Creamy vanilla and baked apple, pleasant oak spice on the finish. But at £90 I expected a bit more complexity for an 18-year-old — there are younger bottles that surprise me more. Still, I'd happily drink it again if someone else is pouring.
