Glen Moray Releases Madeira Cask Project

Glen Moray has announced Madeira Cask Project, the third release in their Elgin Curiosity Range of experimental limited editions.

A marriage of seven casks laid down in Glen Moray’s Warehouse 1 in 2006, the Madeira Cask Project is a single malt Scotch whisky fully matured in ex-sweet Madeira hogsheads for 13 years and 10 months, bottled non-chill filtered and of natural color at 46.3% ABV.

Madeira Cask Project is described as having aromas of “toffee, dark chocolate, fig, and dates balanced with sweet pears, berries and subtle exotic spices.” On the palate, it’s “sweet, syrupy, with deep notes of toffee, chocolate, black coffee, and figs, developing to sweet oak, poached pears, and soft fruit.” The finish is “rich, lingering, and sweet with gentle exotic spices and dried fruit.”

Glen Moray Madeira Cask Project is limited to just 1,468 bottles and is available exclusively in the UK at a suggested retail price of £65 (~$82) for a 70 cL bottle.
