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 Glen Moray 16 year old from the 2000s. Early on, the distillery released a comprehensive range of single malts, beginning with a 10 year old in the 1970s, then, in the 1980s, a 5 year old, a 12 year old, a 15 year old and a 17 year old. The 16 year old replaced the 15 year old in 1999 before itself being replaced by a 15 year old in 2015.
