'onemalt' Rating: 6/10For the Glen Moray Speyside 12 year, I am not fooled. This sweet scotch slowly kindles a warming sensation in your chest, not the burn of a Ardbeg style scotch. This, to me, is light scotch. Paired well with a candle-lit meal, it's sweetness begs a salty counter part. I am partial to lightly oiled, dry roasted peanuts myself.
When one's heart overflows with honey, sometimes the experience can be sickly sweet. Just like valentines day come and gone, the extravagance and romanticism of one evening can sour the rest of the relationship. Not due to any fault of his/her own but due to an overabundance of quixotic euphoria.
I'm just saying... as a romantic, don't enshrine yourself by your first impression. Reveal your deeper layers and notes as the relationship progresses. Don't make the mistake of the Glen Moray and out do yourself. Save some sweet lovin' for later.
