Glen Moray is one of Scotland’s best loved single malt whiskies. It has been crafted since 1897 in the ancient town of Elgin, the capital of the Speyside whisky region, on what was once the Elgin West Brewery site on the banks of the River Lossie. Pure waters from the river, malted barley, distillation in traditional copper stills and maturation in American ex-bourbon casks combine to give the whisky its smooth, well-balanced, classic Speyside character.
Crafted to delight single malt fans, this toasty, smooth 10-year-old whisky celebrates the fascination for innovating with casks. Always intrigued to unlock new aspects in Glen Moray’s character, the craftsmen made up their minds to explore how charring casks more deeply could intensify the whisky’s dialogue with the wood, and transform its taste. As they began to experiment, they first aged the whisky in American oak casks for light, vanilla tones. Then they finished this whisky in heavily-charred virgin oak casks. Over 4 to 6 months, the casks took the single malt’s classic flavours to new heights, revealing a whisky of intense sweetness, spice and notes of toasty oak.
Cask type: Matured in ex-bourbon casks and finished in heavily charred virgin American oak.
