Glen Moray distillery began life as a brewery in 1828 but was converted in 1897 and rebuilt in 1958 to doubled capacity. The distillery located on the river Lossie near Elgin is currently being expanded to even higher output to meet ever growing global demands.
The nose is remarkably spicy with expressive fruitiness, vanilla and toasted oak. Rich sugary barley presents well on the palate with more spice and some smokiness sparring for attention as the mouth-feel expands. The finish is smooth, rich, spicy and fruity.

Nestling on the banks of the river Lossie in the Western quarter of the ancient city, and royal burgh of Elgin is the Glen Moray distillery. Elgin itself is an historic city, but not the least of its claims to fame is the fact that it is the capital of Speyside – a region in the north of Scotland synonymous throughout the world with malt whisky.
The original road into Elgin passes through the distillery grounds under the shadow of Gallow Hill, where executions were carried out until the end of the 17th century.
Glen Moray has continued largely unchanged down through the generations since the 18th century, except that it was originally built as a brewery. It was converted to a distillery in 1897 and for over a hundred years has been producing a distinctively smooth Speyside malt.
It is currently part of the Glenmorangie Plc (LVMH).
