Glen Moray Single Malt

Glen Moray Single Malt—especially the Elgin Classic expression—is a Speyside whisky known for its light, approachable character and excellent value. Bottled at 40% ABV, it’s aged entirely in ex-bourbon casks, often first-fill, which gives it a clean, fruity profile with subtle oak influence.
