Thanks to @GlenMorayDist and @TweetTastings for the drams tonight:
12yo: easy-sipper not weakened with water
FF: delicious, packs flavour and drinkable neat
W1: Another flavour-bomb, love a tequila cask finish!
12s: need to nose and taste again, bargain at £52!
#GlenMorayWhisky
12smoky Reduction: a dribble of water sweetens the nose with pear drops, strawberry Chewits and pears with custard. Palate loses some thickness but gains a creamier texture, with Pear Belle Helene
#GlenMorayWhisky
W1 Reduction: a few drops of water brings aromatic pear drops to the nose. The palate gains a sardines in tomato sauce toasted sandwich and clove balls (boiled sweets).
#GlenMorayWhisky
FF Reduction: a little water adds angelica root to the nose, while the palate gains some freshness from mint leaves and some apple fruit-tella chews
#GlenMorayWhisky
FF Palate: thick, fruity and warming; the thick Ribena and muscovado sugar from the nose are joined by grapefruit marmalade on toast, creamy gingerbread latte and poached pears with star anise
#GlenMorayWhisky
12yo Reduction: a dribble of water sweetens the nose with foam shrimps and stewed rhubarb, while the palate gets creamier and gains some ground ginger spice
