Product description
Glen Moray Distillery is located on the outskirts of Elgin. It was built in 1897 and in 1923 it was taken over by Macdonald & Muir, owners of Glenmorangie.
The last change of ownership took place in 2008, when the distillery was acquired by La Martiniquaise, the second largest producer of spirits in France (after Pernod Ricard). Its leading brands are Label 5 (blended whisky) and Glen Turner (blended malt), and Glen Moray has a key place in the formulas of both. The Glen Moray presented here, distilled in February 2007, spent over 12 years in a refilled hogshead cask (DL 13735), and was bottled in November 2019 at 46% abv by Douglas Laing & Co in the Provenance series in an edition of 360 bottles. The whiskies from the Douglas Laing & Co. offer are bottled with natural colour and without chill filtration.
