Scotland, Speyside. Distillery operational. Owner: La Martiniquaise

In 1923, Glen Moray became the owner of Macdonald & Muir, which at the time owned the Glenmorangie distillery. It was in the wake of this giant that Glen Moray forged its path. A path characterized first by the blends of the company it had joined, Bailie Nicol Jarvie (BNJ), James Martin and Highland Queen, and then from the 80s by its own bottlings aged 5, 8 and 12 years old. The late 1980s saw the release of a series of vintages, including bottlings from 1960, 1963, 1964 and 1959, which formed a collection in and of themselves.

A blend of Glen Moray whiskies from 1976 to 1979, produced to mark the distillery's 100 year anniversary. After being matured first in a bourbon cask, they then underwent a second maturation in a Duoro Valley port cask. The distillery was one of the first to trial maturation in these types of wine cask, a trend that has soon caught on at other distilleries.
