1/You know the type. Some bottles get worshipped. Glen Moray 12 is the one your mates reach for without a word, and nobody at the table ever argues the point.
2/Here's what we found. Glen Moray 12 sits among the ten closest bottles for the drinkers of 19 others. The typical bottle does that for 9.0. Drinkers of Glen Moray 15, The Glenlivet 12 and The Glen Grant 10 would all keep it near the top of their own list.
3/Open it and it's an easy welcome: honey, icing sugar, toffee bonbons, a twist of orange peel. The palate runs barley sugar and soft oak, a little nectarine and lychee. Vanilla and more honey on the way out. Nothing asking you to work for it.
4/If you lean richer, Glen Moray 15 goes earthy and sherried, with chocolate and spicy dried fruit. If you like it light and floral, The Glenlivet 12 blossoms into lily and pineapple with a creaminess under it. Glen Moray 12 sits comfortably between the two.
5/It's $71 this week at Dan Murphy's. It usually sells around $75, and we've seen it from $71 to $79. That's about $3.21 a standard drink, where Glen Moray 15 runs $4.25 and The Glenlivet 12 $3.56. A pint at the pub is about $6.28 a drink.
6/So: new to malt, it's a clean, honeyed place to start. Settled in your ways, it's the bottle the table agrees on. And if 15 or The Glenlivet 12 is your usual, this one's already close to home. A yes for each.
