1/I poured the Glen Moray 21 on a quiet night, and it rewards the wait. Oolong and ripe red fruits, a wisp of Tawny Port over the top. Baby waves of baking spice. Caramel and oak underneath, sweet then tart, summer berries and vanilla. A whisky to sit with.
2/The palate's a creamy, medium-rich thing. Sweet, with honey running right through. It doesn't taste much like what sits around it. That's the fun of it: you pour this one because it goes its own way, not because it falls in with the room.
3/Here's the heart of it. Ask the drinkers of the bottles nearest it what this one's worth to them, each starting from what they pay for their own, and the answers run from $121 to $254. At $343 it sits above all of them. It's priced for its fans.
4/It usually sells around $343, and about $13.41 a pour at home across the 26 or so in the bottle. If you already love the Glen Moray 21, this is yours and you know it. If you're new and want a whisky that stands apart, pour it on a quiet night. Yes either way.
