Glen Moray 2007 - 2024 #5764 for Friends of BBR The Netherlands

Passion for Whisky belongs to the "Friends of Berry Brothers & Rudd The Netherlands". At the invitation of the Dutch importer, we travelled to London in February 2024 and there, at No.3 St. James's Street, selected this single cask bottling which is available very limited from now on. 

Tasting note

Nose

On the nose, ripe peaches and a hint of apricot bloom are gracefully entwined with subtle vanilla and a whisper of floral Viognier elegance.

Taste

The palate tells a tale of two worlds, where crisp green apples meet the spicy warmth of cinnamon and a touch of white pepper.

Finish

The finish unfolds with sweet citrus and gentle oak, leaving a lingering echo of fresh summer orchards and the exotic aromas of distant spice bazaars.

Glen Moray Distillery

Glen Moray Distillery is located on the banks of the River Lossie in Elgin, in the Speyside region of Scotland. Founded in 1897, Glen Moray has a rich history of more than a century in producing high-quality single malt whiskies. The distillery is located on the site of a former brewery, which adds to its historic charm.

A unique feature of Glen Moray is the use of water from the River Lossie, which contributes to the character of their whiskies. Glen Moray whiskies are known for their elegant, smooth and accessible flavour profiles, with notes of vanilla, fruit and light spiciness. The distillery often experiments with different cask types for maturation, notably including ex-bourbon, sherry and wine casks, making for a rich and diverse taste experience.

The combination of an idyllic location, innovative maturation techniques and a dedication to craftsmanship makes Glen Moray a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
