Glen Moray's whisky making history began in 1897 when a former brewery site in Elgin was redeveloped for distillation. Situated on the banks of the River Lossie, Glen Moray has been crafting single malt whisky for over 125 years.
Since its foundation, Glen Moray has explored maturation in a range of cask types, with warehouse records showing that diverse wood management has formed part of the distillery's character for generations. Glen Moray is known for producing a fruit driven and delicate spirit, resulting in an approachable style. The distillery also produces a small amount of heavily peated spirit each year, offering an alternative expression of its character.
Glen Moray's appeal lies in the versatility of its spirit in cask. The fruit led character works well in a wide range of cask types, from first-fill and refill bourbon casks to Oloroso sherry, port, wine and rum cask finishes. This adaptability allows a broad range of cask-derived flavours to be explored while retaining the character of Glen Moray.
