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 17 Year Old matured for 10 years in port casks after 7 years’’ initial maturation in bourbon casks. Glenmorangie, who bought the distillery in 1996, carried out many different experiments with Glen Moray in the 2000s, notably with wine cask maturations. This edition was created for the Morrison’’s supermarket chain.
