Product description
Glen Moray Distillery began operations in 1897 in buildings previously belonging to the Elgin West Brewery.
In 1923, it was taken over by Macdonald & Muir, the owner of Glenmorangie, and the last change of ownership took place in 2008, when the distillery was acquired by the French La Martiniquaise, the second largest producer of spirits in the country (after Pernod Ricard). The distillery expansion completed in 2016 increased its production capacity to 5.7 million litres of distillate per year.
