The Glen Moray distillery is located next to Elgin on the banks of the Lossie River in the Speyside Scottish region. In 1897, following the "whiskey boom", Robert Thorne & Sons decided to close their brewery to turn it into a distillery. In 1920 Macdonald & Muir (at that time owner of Glenmorangie) bought Glen Moray for 12 thousand pounds and after three years of work managed to restart production. Since then the distillery has always been active, closing only due to force reasons during the Second World War.


In 1970 the two original stills are replaced and two more are added, bringing the production to 2,000,000 liters per year. In 2004 the entire Glenmorangie group (to which the distillery belonged) was purchased by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, who subsequently sold Glen Moray to the French company La Martiniquaise (2008). In 2012 the distillery was further renewed and expanded bringing the total of the stills to six.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
