About Glen Moray

On the banks of the Lossie in Elgin, Glen Moray has poured out honest, easy-going Speyside since 1897, the malt that has welcomed more newcomers into whisky than almost any other, and for the gentlest of prices. Unshowy, and quietly adventurous with its casks. La Martiniquaise own it.
