Glen Moray 2014 / 10 Year Old / Decadent Drams Speyside Whisky

Wei Zhang — Best Glen Moray I've tried

9/10

I've always thought Glen Moray was an underrated distillery and this bottling proves it. Rich butterscotch and baked pear on the nose, then spiced oak and dried apricot on the palate. Added a splash of water and it turned into silk. At ten years old this has no right being this complex.

Grace Kim — Punchy Speyside with real character

8/10

At 57.1% this thing doesn't mess around — big hit of honey and stewed orchard fruit on the nose that really opens up with a few drops of water. Ten years in cask has given it a lovely creamy vanilla backbone. For an independent bottling at under a hundred quid, I think this is solid value.

Herbert Muller — Proper cask strength Speyside

8/10

This is what I want from an independent bottling — the distillery character turned up to eleven. All that classic Glen Moray maltiness and orchard fruit but with real depth and a long warm finish. I shared this with a mate who only drinks bourbon and he was genuinely impressed. Would happily buy another bottle.

Noah Williams — Nice but pricey for what it is

7/10

It's a well-made whisky, no question. Clean Speyside profile with malt, vanilla, and a hint of tropical fruit. But at nearly £95 for a ten-year-old Glen Moray, even at cask strength, I feel like you can find similar quality for less. I'd buy it at £70 without hesitation.

Astrid Nilsen — Great neat, better with water

8/10

Poured this neat first and the 57.1% was a bit aggressive — lots of ethanol heat masking the fruit underneath. A teaspoon of water completely transformed it though. Suddenly you get this lovely mix of honey, citrus peel and gentle wood spice. Really enjoyable dram once you find the sweet spot.

Aiko Tanaka — Good but not quite special

7/10

I wanted to love this more than I did. The nose is gorgeous — malty sweetness, a bit of toffee apple — but the palate doesn't quite deliver on that promise. It's hot even for cask strength and needs a good rest in the glass. Decent Glen Moray but Decadent Drams have done better picks.
