The history of Glen Moray begins in 1897, when the Elgin West Brewery—formerly supplying the local community with ales—was converted into a whisky distillery. From the outset, Glen Moray took a distinctive approach by maturing its spirit in a wide variety of casks, an uncommon practice at the time. Like many distilleries, it fell victim to the whisky slump of the early 20th century and was forced to close between the 1910s and 1920s.
Today, Glen Moray is celebrated for its soft, approachable character, experimental cask finishes, and an affordable core range.
