The Glen Moray 1996 AM Ex-bourbon Belgie is a distinguished single malt whisky, expertly distilled in 1996 and matured for 23 years in a single ex-bourbon cask. Bottled in 2019 by the independent bottler Asta Morris, this whisky is a remarkable testament to the Speyside region's famed distillery, Glen Moray. With an ABV of 49.7% and limited to just 189 bottles, this release is a rare gem. The nose of this whisky offers an intriguing journey, starting with a medley of citrus notes reminiscent of Sprite and Fanta, intertwined with the sweetness of barley syrup. As it opens up, you will detect the comforting aromas of moist sponge cake, gingerbread, and the nostalgic scent of old books and magazines. The Belgian influence from the bottler introduces beer-like qualities that add another layer of complexity. On the palate, this whisky is a symphony of flavors. Cherries and Kriek beer notes lead the way, followed by malty beer, cakes, caramel, and a savory hint of good gravy. Pumpernickel, herbs, teas, molasses, marzipan, gingerbread, lighter fruitcake, and banana cake further enrich the tasting experience. The finish is long and perfectly balanced with caramelly notes, stout, blueberry jam, spicy oak, and lingering gingerbread.
