Glen Moray Distillery

Glen Moray single malt whisky has been distilled on the banks of the River Lossie since 1897, just outside Elgin, one of Scotland’s oldest towns. With a classic light and sweet Speyside character and a history of cask exploration going back to the earliest days of the distillery, Glen Moray is a whisky for everyone.

Podcast:

We interviewed Iain Allan, Visitor Centre Manager and Global Brand Ambassador at the Glen Moray Distillery, in our August 2020 podcast.

Iain tells us how the whisky has changed over the years, what he’d like to see change in the industry, and an amusing if slightly scary story about the history of the Distillery and its proximity to the old site of Elgin’s public hangings.
