Glen Moray is a small authentic working distillery who
actually started out as a brewery. The traditional low ceiling warehouses and
stonebuildings are nestling on the banks of the river Lossie in the capital of
Speyside - the ancient city of Elgin. Glen Moray is gaelic for ‘glen of the
seaboard settlement’. Today a peaceful site the warehouse “No 1” lies close to
the Gallow Hill where criminals were executed until the end of the 17th
century. Next to the hill the old road passed by with travellers such as St Columba,
King Duncan, Macbeth and Bonnie Prince Charlie. Glen Moray is available in a
range of ages, vintages and finishes, among them with white wine barrels.
