The story of Glen Moray Classic

Glen Moray Classic is the everyday single malt from a distillery in Elgin, Speyside, that began life on the site of the old West Brewery. The first spirit ran off the stills on 13 September 1897. Macdonald and Muir bought the distillery in 1920, and it has long been open to different kinds of wood, with Marsala and sherry casks used from the early days and its first white wine finishes, in Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc casks, arriving in 1999.

The Classic is the plain, unfinished expression. It is matured entirely in American oak, the casks having previously held bourbon, and bottled at 40 per cent. The distillery calls it light, smooth and fruity, and that fits the glass: honey and green apple, a little lemon, fresh grass and pear, then a clean, honeyed finish.

Because it is soft and unpeated, it makes an easy first single malt. Drink it neat, or add a small splash of water to bring out the fruit. It also works as a long drink, poured over ice and topped with soda and a slice of lemon.
