I got a bottle of Glen Moray given to me. I have yet to try it anyone who knows scotch chime in.

How bad can anything with 'Glen' in the name be? One of my favorites is Glenmorangie....

Thats what I been drinking for a while now. I was asked to try this. I just haven't yet.

Your best bet would be to ship it to me!

Otherwise, I suggest drinking it neat, in a wide tumbler. Here is something I pulled off the net:

It should be noted that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to drink Scotch whisky – it is very much down to a question of personal taste. However, let us offer a few basic suggestions and, for those interested in pursuing the pleasures of “nosing” and “tasting” further, we provide a link below to a detailed introduction to “nosing and tasting” scotch whisky.

Many who drink Scotch whisky neat say they do not want to spoil the taste by adding water. However, equally as many will say that adding a touch of water, particularly if it is pure, soft spring water, (ideally the same spring water used in the making of the particular whisky!) serves to enhance the distinctive aroma and flavour of a whisky. Tap water may contain high amounts of chlorine and therefore would not complement any whisky - your best bet is to opt for bottled Scottish mineral water!

Adding ice to a whisky can provide a refreshing drink but it should be noted that it will dull the fine taste and wonderful aromas and so should never be contemplated when conducting a “whisky nosing and tasting.” Similarly, carbonated water is not an ideal accompaniment for whisky as it will also interfere with the aromas.

The addition of mixers such as ginger ale, soda and even coca cola, is a popular trend, however it does beg the question - why drink whisky at all if you need to mask the taste?

"Nosing” and “Tasting"

The sense of smell is one of the most sophisticated of all the senses, and the pleasure that can be gained from “nosing and tasting” the many wonderful and varied scotch whiskies available today is an experience that should be treasured. This is particularly true if it is experienced in a convivial atmosphere with a group of friends – old or new.

Its a speyside malt, can't go wrong... enjoy.

drink the last glass first! it always tastes best!

It's horrible stuff Chad.
You need to get it out of your house as fast as possible.
Fortunately I have experience in disposing of this kind of HazMat so ship it to me immediately and I will take care of it.

No charge, of course. Hey, what are friends for?

Drink it and instead of asking for opinions, offer a review!

Pour a good size nip, add some ice and drink. Then repeat again! Enjoy

Ok guys here is the review. Its only aged in a whiskey cast for 12 years (no sherry cask ) so there is no fruity taste at all, and hardly any floral note. Its a very oaky and very peaty robust scotch. However its surprisingly smooth. If you like Balavini, Aberlour, or Glenmorangie this may not be the stuff for you. If you like Glenlivet and likes you will like this as well and maybe even better.
