Tasting Notes
Colour: Burnt Amber
Nose: Intense berry fruits merge with creamy vanilla and rich caramel with hints of freshly-baked gingerbread.
Palate: Beautifully balanced and full of character. Blackcurrant and liquorice dominate in the first instance then chewy caramel toffee and chilli-infused chocolate come to the fore. A real taste sensation.
Finish: Rich and satisfying. Dark chocolate and caramelised raisins linger on the tongue long after the last sip is taken.
History of Glen Moray
Glen Moray distillery is a Speyside distillery producing single malt scotch whisky that’s situated on the banks of the River Lossie in Elgin, Moray. Glen Moray started life as West Brewery in Elgin run by Robert Thorne & Sons, and was converted to a distillery with 2 stills in 1897. The distillery was purchased by the owners of the Glenmorangie Distillery, the MacDonald and Muir families at some time during the 1920s. The distillery received 2 additional stills in 1958 and at present has an annual capacity of around 2,000,000 litres. The company now belongs to the French distilling firm La Martiniquaise, which uses part of its production in their blended Whisky Cutty Sark and Label 5, along with its Starlaw distillery in West Lothian. The distillery was expanded in 2012 to produce 3,300,000 litres annually from 3 wash stills and 3 spirit stills. 2016 has seen further expansion and development of the site with a growth in production to around 5,500,000 litres annually.
