Originally operating as the West Brewery, the site was converted into a whisky distillery and has since developed a strong reputation for approachable Speyside single malts and innovative cask maturation. Glen Moray has a particularly long association with experimenting with wine and fortified-wine casks, making the Sherry Cask Finish a natural extension of the distillery’s fruity and accessible house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer \u0026amp; Whisky Maker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced and distilled by \u003cstrong\u003eGlen Moray Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e in Elgin, Scotland. Glen Moray's spirit is characteristically light, fruity and malty, allowing the influence of secondary maturation to remain clearly identifiable. The Sherry Cask Finish introduces richer dried-fruit and spice characteristics while preserving the distillery's underlying vanilla, malt and orchard-fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery \u0026amp; Terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe distillery sits beside the \u003cstrong\u003eRiver Lossie in Elgin\u003c\/strong\u003e, within the Speyside whisky region. Speyside is renowned for elegant, fruit-forward single malts. Glen Moray's relatively delicate house spirit provides an excellent foundation for sherry-cask finishing, as the richer characteristics from fortified-wine casks can develop without completely overpowering the original whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Whisky\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Elgin Classic Sherry Cask Finish is a richer interpretation of Glen Moray's signature Speyside style. It combines the distillery's characteristic vanilla and fruit flavours with the influence of \u003cstrong\u003eOloroso Sherry casks\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating additional layers of dried fruit, spice, nuts and sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the standard Elgin Classic and Chardonnay Cask Finish, this expression is richer and more intensely flavoured, while remaining smooth and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Age Statement (NAS)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation \u0026amp; Cask Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe whisky is initially matured in \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e before receiving additional maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eOloroso Sherry casks\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American oak establishes Glen Moray's core vanilla, caramel and fruit character, while the Oloroso casks contribute richer dried-fruit, nutty and spicy flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100% Malted Barley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRich Gold to Light Amber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet vanilla and dried fruit accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003ecinnamon, toffee, dark berries and gentle oak spice\u003c\/strong\u003e.
