Glen Moray Forbidden Fruit

We featured Glen Moray towards the end of last year, but that was their Warehouse 1 range, whereas this is something brand new (released Feb 2026) that comes complete with some tongue in cheek humour. Back in 2018 Glen Moray accidentally got themselves in hot water over a cider cask release that fell foul of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) regulations. To this day, despite some loosening of the rules around other casks, cider casks are still verboten. Don’t worry for them here though. Forbidden Fruit was instead finished in casks that previously held yummy Calvados, in this case distilled from just apples (as opposed to pears).

When Glen Moray – a classic Elgin single malt – already tastes of green toffee apples, it's a no-brainer of a combo. Super fruity, and probably one for highballs in the sun if some nice weather would just break out…
