Glen Moray 2014 Tequila Finish - Warehouse 1

Glen Moray, founded in 1897, is a classic fruity, ‘toffeed’ Speyside single malt from Elgin. Well respected and appreciated for their always affordable and more than solid core ranges, they also release special and sometimes experimental treats in their Warehouse 1 collection. This features their cask explorations (certainly in this case!) and limited releases, all presented at natural cask strength and natural colour, without chill-filtration.

The distillery was a trailblazer of cask finishes back in the ’90s (especially with their use of white wine casks). Distilled in 2014, this whisky spent 8 years in bourbon barrels before being moved into Tequila casks. Although you’ll see a small handful of Tequila cask matured whiskies these days (we had one last Dec), it was only in 2019 that these casks were actually permitted by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA)!
