Description :Situated on the banks of the River Lossie close to the ancient cathedral city and royal burgh of Elgin, the Glen Moray distillery was developed from a brewery in 1897. The original brewery buildings date from 1815. It has been in almost continuous production and was among only a handful of selected distilleries that were allowed to continue production during World War II in order to assist the national debt. It was acquired by MacDonald and Muir in 1920, and in 1958 it was refurbished with production capacity doubled from two to four stills. Glen Moray Distillery has recently relaunched its fine range of single malts, which are smooth, dry and light Speyside whiskies. They have been mellowed for a final period in white-wine barrels.
