Glen Moray Distillery |
Speyside |
|
|

 Like
Glenmorangie, Glen Moray started out its existence as a
brewery. It became a distillery in 1897. The distillery
lies by the river Lossie close to the medieval city of
Elgin. Glen
Moray is gaelic for ‘glen of the seaboard
settlement’. Unfortunately for Glen Moray’s fouder, the
whisky boom was over soon after the distillery was
founded and the company was bankrupted. In 1920 the
distillery was bought by Macdonald and Muir Ltd, who
renovated and expanded the distillery with two
additional stills. The warehouse “No 1” lies close to
the Gallows Crook Hill where criminals were hanged in
the 15th century. Glen Moray was the first Speyside
distillery to use white wine barrels to ‘finish’
maturation. |

Production at Glen Moray |
|
|
| |
 Glen Moray uses water from the river
Lossie. They buy their malt lightly peated from
different malting companies. The Mash tun is made from
stainless steel as are the five washbacks. They have
four lantern-shaped copper stills that are indirectly
heated with steam. Glen Morays annual production
capacity is close to two million litres. The whisky is
stored on-site. Both
bourbon and sherry casks are used. Bottling is done in Broxburn, West Lothian |
