Glen Moray Sherry Cask Finish
The sherry cask finish showcases the distillery’s long-standing skill in cask finishing. First, the whisky is aged in American oak barrels to develop the classic Speyside character. It is then finished in Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, Spain, which add rich flavours of dried fruit, nuts, and spice. This whisky is crafted to be enjoyed by both seasoned single malt enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Glen Moray Distillery
Established in 1828 as West Brewery, Glen Moray distillery's location near the river Lossie provided power and water. Despite seasonal flooding, it produces a highly regarded single malt cherished by blenders.
Transformed into a distillery in 1897, Glen Moray faced closure in 1910 due to various factors, including a fire at Aberlour distillery and low whisky demand post-Pattison crisis. Acquired by Glenmorangie in 1923, production capacity doubled in 1958 with the installation of a Saladin box.
Under Glenmorangie ownership, Glen Moray faced criticism for selling at low prices, potentially impacting its brand. In 2008, La Martiniquaise acquired the distillery, leading to increased production capacity.
With a medium-long fermentation period, clear wort, and a microclimate influenced by the nearby river Lossie, Glen Moray produces a delicate spirit primarily aged in first-fill bourbon barrels.
