Originally built as a brewery, Glen Moray was converted into a whisky distillery during the market boom of the late 19th century.
The subsequent slump saw it mothballed, before being bought by MacDonald & Muir in 1923, who later became the Glenmorangie Company in 1996.
In the latter days of their ownership it was sadly treated as their budget single malt, but it has always been a high quality whisky, and its reputation it is now beginning to recover under the ownership of La Martiniquaise, who took over in 2008.
Introduced in the 1990s following several successful cask finished releases at sister-distillery, Glenmorangie, this is one of two age-statements produced by Glen Moray that had been further "mellowed" in Chenin Blanc wine casks, alongside a 12 year old.
Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
Nose: The 16 year old is sweet, full and exceptionally well-rounded.
Palate: The taste is smooth with a good, firm body, meeting expectations set by the rich, mature nose with a toffee flavour to finish the palate off in style.
Finish: Reminiscent of barley sugar and humbugs finishing with a hint of smoke.
