Actually came across this video while sipping Glen Moray 12, I'm across the ditch, so I paid somewhere around $60 NZD. I was looking for something to mix for a Rusty Nail, or the like. for the price it hits way above it's weight, easy drinking with soft buttery notes and malt in the background. This is great to recommend to beginners who think all scotch is Laphroaig/petrol and hundreds of dollars. I also don't feel to bad about trying it in a whisky highball either. the Glen Moray port cask mixed 2:1 with Cynar over ice in a nice cocktail too.

Bought the classic peated version a couple of years back and it was pretty decent especially for the price, was under €20. Good that your review was honest 👍, good video, slàinte

That's an exceptional price David! Thanks for the kind words mate, I do try to be pragmatic about my reviews. Slàinte!

I have a 12 year old IB sourced from them and I love it! I've also run through a bottle of their NAS peated and Chardonnay finished offerings. I was actually pretty surprised by the Chard finished. It was cheap and decent! Great vid Wade!

Hey Freed! Yeah what I’m hearing is that their IB offerings are where it’s at and they are definitely a slept on distillery.

I got the Glen Moray 18 for about $100.00. Can't beat that. Glenfarclas is also one of those brands that have less expensive aged expressions. Nice job Wade. Cheers.

Thanks Peter! That Glen Moray 18 isn't bad right! I was certainly expecting it to be worse than it was.

I agree! I picked up the Chardonnay cask finish NAS and it was actually quite good. I don’t know if I want another bottle of that, but it did spur me too buy an independently bottled version and it will be interesting to compare once that one arrives. They have some interesting cask strength limited official releases, too.

Nice review, I just got mine bottle from Uruguay, I live in South of Brazil and the price was 140,00 reais, really a good price for a single malt
@McIntyresMalts
@McIntyresMalts Год назад
Incredible price, that’s the equivalent of $40 Australian. About $60 here locally
@emersonluccas3894
@emersonluccas3894 Год назад
In the market is like 240,00 but I bought it in a free shop in Uruguay, I don't know if I love more whisky or find best deals, here we have a group in telegram and we share whisky promotion in internet.

When I toured the distillery (a few years ago now) they told me that (what is now) the Elgin Classic was an 8-year-old, but they didn't put the age on the label, because so many people refused to buy anything younger than 10! I still enjoy it when I just want to have a drink, rather than a tasting...
@McIntyresMalts
@McIntyresMalts Год назад
Thanks for sharing your insight Andrew! How was the distillery tour? Yeah it definitely seems that 10 years in the base line in Scotch age statements. With Australian whisky majority are under 10 years old, but they too don't list an age statement unless it's more than 12 years old usually.

Compared to other age statement OB Single Malts within the same price range, like the Tomintoul 10, Speyburn 10, the Glen Moray IMO, comes out on top every time. After a full day of visiting distilleries in Scotland, all you want to do is sit in front of the wood fire stove, relax and drink something pleasant, malty and fruity. Something which you don't have to think about too much and which is cheap as wood chips. I'd also highly recommend the Glen Moray Signature Non-Chill Filtered Classic 48% abv (Travel Retail) which is the Glen Moray Classic with the flavour volume turned up. Give it a few days to settle down after opening and a splash of water, and it will reward you with a lovely malt experience. For an introduction to Speyside Peated whisky, the dirt cheap Glen Moray Classic Peated is soft, malty sweet and earthy. Nothing offensive about this at all. It's just a nice dram at the end of the day. The only Glen Moray which I wouldn't absolutely recommend is the 18 Old. Yes, it's cheaper than most 18 Year Olds, bottled at 47.2% abv, non-chill filtered, but it's got an unpleasant dryness, almost bitter oak about it. I'd recommend instead the Loch Lomond 18, Inchmurrin 18 and Inchmoan 18, all at similar prices to the GM 18. Fantastic value for money and better than some 18 Year Olds at premium prices.

The 21 was certainly the cheapest option near that age and the specs are good. I dont do 40%. Very decent dram. Perhaps the port finish is BS and the 18 year old might have been a better investment. But its all part of the journey. For me value, specs and good reviews are more important than "flavors" after all, its just whisky and once you're out the door you cannot return it to the store so its all good. There was some good hype on cask strength and independent releases a few months before I pulled the trigger so it was on my radar. I think i went thru a NAS bottle a few years ago, i dont remember LOL.

@McIntyresMalts Год назад
Fair points, yeah I hear that some of the IB cask strength Glen Morays are much better than these ones.

Had a bottle when I started with whisky last year. Nothing special, and price wasn’t spectacular either (30 euros). Now Glen Grant 10 or Speyburn 10 Travellers edition (46 % ABV) are nice, rich and fruity for just 30-31 eur but PER LITER. That’s the value hard to beat.

It's colored... proofed down to the legal limits... non-peated... and have questionable consistency from bottle to bottle... And it isn't even that cheap... you can get Jura 12 for the same price with much more complexity.
@McIntyresMalts
@McIntyresMalts Год назад
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s a great whisky compared to other 12 year old Scotch, I’m saying it’s not bad for $60. Jura 12 is $100 here in Australia Vs. Below $60 for the Glen Moray 12. Where are you based? Glen Moray is about the cheapest single malt you can find in Australia.
@vintageswiss9096
@vintageswiss9096 Год назад
@McIntyre's Malts ah, that may be the discrepancy, my apologies boss. I'm in the US in one of the most expensive states for liquor, so our prices tend to be kind of weird here. I can get a bottle of Glen 12 for around $70+tax, while a bottle of Lag 16 is only $99. Here locally: Laphroaig 10 is $60... Ardbeg Wee Beastie is $50... Port Charlotte is $70... An Oa is $85... Not sure about many current speyside prices, as I've been on an Islay kick lately, but those might be able to give a somewhat comparison between our markets.

@McIntyresMalts Год назад
@@vintageswiss9096 ah that makes a lot more sense, man I don’t blame you for showing no interest in the GM12 then when you can get those Islay whiskies that cheap! I wish we could get those kind of prices here. It’s funny how different markets can impact our buying choices. Thanks for explaining brother 🙏
@vintageswiss9096
@vintageswiss9096 Год назад
@McIntyre's Malts it's also super interesting that the Glen 12 is $20 cheaper in your area than mine, whereas the Islays seem to be cheaper here for me and more expensive for you... I wonder if Glen has a special distribution model with Australia in an attempt to be the best bottle you can buy for around 50 kangaroos...? Buchanan did a similar thing when they made a push into the Latin American markets, and now it's the #1 scotch down there. Sorry for rambling, just thought it was interesting when hearing the prices. Have a great day boss.
