Product details
Glen Moray, founded in 1897, is a classic fruity, ‘toffeed’ Speyside single malt from Elgin. Well respected and appreciated by whisky fans for their always affordable and more than solid core ranges, they also release special treats such as this. Back in 2021 (wow, time flies!) we featured a whisky from their ‘Curiosity’ range, which has since been replaced by the Warehouse 1 collection as the home of Glen Moray’s cask explorations and more limited releases.
These are presented at natural cask strength and natural colour, without chill-filtration. While the distillery was a trailblazer for wine finishes dating back to the 1990s (albeit best known for their innovative use of white wine casks), this whisky spent its entire maturation in Rioja red wine casks for a deep, full-bodied sipper.
