Scottish Malt Whisky is my choice of cocktail, naturally enough. Up here it's impolite to drink anything else. Glen Moray wouldn't rank on my favourite malt whisky list, until it comes to price that is :-) but tonight it's my choice. To be fair this is a very quaffable malt whisky, with a softer, more rounded and fruity flavour. It's distilled in Elgin, the heart of the Speyside whisky region so the credentials are impeccable. There's nothing aggressive about Glen Moray. But my preference is for Highland Malts, from the northern distilleries at Dalmore, Glenmorangie, Clynelish, Old Pulteney. Thinking about it Glen Moray actually has a lot in common with Glenmorangie, which is how come there are a couple of bottles in my office. It's the only Speyside I'll buy, although the Macallan would join it, at the right price. Luckily our local store often has specials on malt whisky, and this week that's Glen Moray, so that'w why it'a tonights dram. Variety is the spice of life, as they say, and if we're going to ring the changes there needs to a reason for selecting one over the others. And this is Scotland, after all - the land of famously short arms and deep pockets. Slainte.
