Hide All Details
Glen Moray distillery was formerly a brewery which was converted in 1897. Situated to the west of Elgin, it spent most of its early years in silence until it was bought by new owners in the 1920s and eventually expanded in 1958. The nose is fresh and uplifting with apple and banana skin, polished oak and soft, confected honey notes. The palate develops with sweet fruitiness, vanilla and richer strands of honey. A delicate trace of anise adorns the lingering finish.

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).
