Glen Moray has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade. While serving as a crucial base for the Label 5 blended Scotch whisky, Glen Moray's single malt has carved out its own respected position in the market, earning praise from whisky connoisseurs and achieving impressive sales figures. The distillery's success is partly attributed to La Martiniquaise's management, but distillery manager and master blender Graham Coull deserves special recognition. Coull entered the whisky industry in 1994 and became Glen Moray's distillery manager in 2005. However, he embraced a new challenge in October 2019, departing for Ireland's Dingle Distillery to take on the role of distillery manager and master distiller. Since 2016, Glen Moray has operated with an 11-ton full lauter mash tun, 14 stainless steel fermenters with a 50-60 hour fermentation period, and nine stills (three wash and six spirit stills). Current annual production stands at 5.7 million liters of new make spirit. The company plans to recommission its old mash tun, add additional fermenters, and install two new wash stills, increasing capacity to 8.9 million liters annually. In 2019, the distillery ran 28 mashes per week, producing 5.7 million liters, including 100,000 liters of peated spirit at 50ppm. That same year, Glen Moray removed two smaller warehouses to accommodate two large warehouses and a palletized storage facility. The core range includes Classic, Classic Port Finish, Classic Chardonnay Finish, Classic Sherry Finish, Classic Cabernet Sauvignon Finish, Classic Peated, and 12, 15, and 18-year-old expressions. In 2018, Glen Moray launched a 10-year-old Fired Oak, matured for a decade in bourbon casks before spending ten months in heavily charred American virgin oak. Recent limited releases include a 21-year-old Port Finish, a 30-year-old Sherry Finish, and an expression finished for two years in apple brandy casks. In autumn 2019, Glen Moray introduced a whisky finished for two years in Martinique Rhum Agricole casks. Additionally, the distillery has released three 15-year-old whiskies matured respectively in white Burgundy, Chardonnay, and Madeira wine casks.

Got a glass tonight and it felt like a warm afternoon in a plum tart shop. A splash of orange juice gives it a bright lift, then the very ripe mirabelles come through, sweet but not cloying, with a whisper of honey and a pinch of ground cinnamon. A gentle touch of oak and fresh vanilla keep it from getting too heavy. There's a faint herbal tea note that reminds me of chamomile in a quiet garden. It goes down rather easily, almost like a neat, old‑fashioned story, and the overall feel is surprisingly elegant without trying too hard. 🌿🍑

Just cracked a glass and it felt like a gentle sweep of fresh pollen spilling straight into the limb. Apple brandy and a whiff of oak hit first, then the mellow sweetness of mirabelle jam smears across the tongue, like a large plum tarte in late afternoon. The orange‑juice lift is subtle, almost retro‑refinement that keeps the whole thing very well‑behaved. I found it just something special – medium length, super subtle, a touch of stew‑ed rhubarb that rounds it out. It goes down rather easily, with a delicate elegance that makes you want to linger for a second. A true small batch gem, I’m already looking forward to the next pour. 😊

Honestly this one’s just very lovely, very well-behaved too 😌 goes down rather easily, no harshness at all which is such a bonus it’s a small batch release, you can tell the care went into it you get that delicate and discreet touch of oak first, then nougat, honey, fresh vanilla, a little ground cinnamon, even overripe apple notes tucked in the back tastes just like a warm large plum tarte with stewed rhubarb, even bits of clafoutis and very ripe mirabelles peaking through medium length finish, soft chamomile, other herbal teas, fresh pollen, even a little zing of orange juice has that old-fashioned restraint, nothing over the top, proper elegance, quite something special if I’m honest. Superb for a quiet evening 🥃

This one’s quite something special, I must say. There’s a lovely hint of mirabelle jam and stewed rhubarb that takes me straight back to my gran’s kitchen – all warm, old-fashioned restraint. The fresh vanilla and ground cinnamon are dancing together in a very well-behaved sort of way, while a touch of oak lingers like a gentle whisper. It’s got that small batch charm, you know? Not too bold, just elegant and smooth. I’m getting notes of honey and fresh pollen, almost like a late summer’s day in the garden. The finish is medium length, with a soft plum tarte sweetness and a whisper of overripe apples. Goes down rather easily, actually – reminds me of sipping herbal teas by the fire. Very ripe mirabelles persist, but in the nicest way. Superb, really. 🥃✨

This dram’s got a lovely nose—fresh vanilla and apple brandy dance together, with a hint of chamomile and stewed rhubarb that’s quite something special. On the palate, it’s very well-behaved, smooth as you like, with orange juice brightness and honeyed mirabelles. There’s a touch of oak, delicate and discreet, and cinnamon spice that lingers just enough. Goes down rather easily, elegant and refined, like an old-fashioned restraint in a glass. The finish is medium length, leaving a whisper of plum tarte and clafoutis sweetness. Very ripe mirabelles and overripe apples add a charming, almost retro refinement. Superb balance—this small batch number’s a proper treat 🥃
