@Jules , What other Glenmos have you had? I think I've called this aspect "yeasty" or "dough-like", if we are talking about the same thing. And if so, then I have actually found this aspect in other Glenmos: the Ealanta if you can find it; also their Original and Nectar D'Or; and maybe the Artein. Otherwise, I might suggest: the Arran 14, Auchentoshan 18, or Bunnahabhain 18 from something quite bread-like. It's bound to be an imperfect list, but let's see what others say.

@Jules The new Tormore 16yo (not the watered-down 14yo)

Thanks @olivier. Great suggestion, though so far I've not seen the Tormore16y available anywhere, but I'll keep an eye out for it.
@vanPelt - The Arran 14 has been on my list for a while so maybe this is the push I need to check it out, and I did once almost get the Nectar d'Or but was rather put off by some people saying it is overly sweet & unsubtle..?

I might experience the Nectar D'Or differently from others, and I haven't loved it quite as much as its many fans-- But I still disagree with the assessment you've heard. If anything I find it needs water to round out some tartness. But in terms of "biscuity", you might hear Lumsden's opinion in the first 10 seconds and at 58 seconds: www.youtube.com/watch His aim was apparently to hint at French pastries....

In my opinion the Glenkinchie 12yo has some similar notes"biscuit" notes

An Cnoc is inexpensive and a little biscuitty or perhaps Glengoyne 15. The Scapa is not biscuity exactly, but it's got an oatmeal forest loam effluvium. Edradour can be a little cookie like as well, along with brown sugar

Based on what's been indicated, it seems that this biscuity, oatmeal, doughy-ness will generally be more prominent in older expressions and probably more likely in American oak.

I recently tasted the Glenmorangie 18 for the first time - I found the biscuity, nutty finish particularly interesting - are there any other malts you can think of that offer this unique aspect?
