Facts

Glen Moray turned 120 in 2017, and this bottling marks the moment. Master distiller Graham Coull built it from five casks laid down by the men who held his job before him. The oldest stretches back to a 1978 bourbon cask. Others were finished in port, madeira and sherry wood across the decades. The result is a single malt that drinks like a walk through the distillery's own history. Expect orchard sweetness, soft vanilla and a bright lift of pineapple. Only 1,000 bottles were ever released. Pour it neat and give it time to open.

Distillery

Glen Moray

The distillery sources its water from the River Lossie, which flows nearby, and uses traditional methods of production to create its range of single malt whiskies. The barley used in the production of the whisky is malted on site, and the distillery uses both traditional copper pot stills and more modern distillation equipment to produce its range of whiskies.

About the Glen Moray Mastery 120th Anniversary

Glen Moray Mastery 120th Anniversary is a single malt Scotch whisky from Glen Moray in Speyside, Scotland. It was released in 2017 to mark 120 years since the distillery's first spirit ran. That first run took place on 13 September 1897. This bottling celebrates more than a date. It celebrates the people who shaped the spirit over generations. Master distiller Graham Coull built Glen Moray Mastery 120th Anniversary from five carefully chosen casks. Each one was laid down by a predecessor who held his role before him. The oldest reaches back to a 1978 bourbon cask. The others were finished in port, madeira and Spanish oak sherry wood across later decades. Bringing them together was an act of respect for the distillery's long Speyside history. The character is bright, layered and gently sweet. Floral honeysuckle notes lift from the glass first. Then comes a wave of fresh fruit, with ripe pear and grilled pineapple leading the way. Soft vanilla rounds out the middle, while a quiet spice keeps everything in balance. It is sweet without ever turning heavy. The fruit stays clean and lively from start to finish. Glen Moray sits beside the River Lossie in the heart of Speyside. The distillery has made whisky on this spot since 1897, quietly building a reputation for elegant, approachable malts. Mastery is its grandest tribute to that record. Only 1,000 bottles were released, each one a small piece of the distillery's story bottled at natural cask strength. This is a whisky to slow down with. Pour it neat and let the floral and fruit notes unfold in the glass. The pineapple and pear stay vivid, the vanilla turns creamy, and the finish lingers with warm spice. Glen Moray made this for collectors and quiet evenings alike. It rewards patience and a steady hand.
