Our Madeira Cask Project
Aged 13 years, our rich, indulgent single malt has spent its entire life in hand-selected Madeira casks, rarely used this way. The Madeira Cask Project is a rich and indulgent combination of Glen Moray's classic Speyside style and the sweet fruit and toffee influences of Madeira. Known for its nutty sweetness, balanced by a fresh, tangy acidity, it's these rich notes that give the new Glen Moray expression its distinctive flavour.

Dr Kirstie McCallum commented: "Single malt whisky matured in Madeira casks has been prized in the industry before, but typically the casks have only been used to 'finish' more conventionally matured whisky. That's what makes this new expression so very special. Our new make spirit has been slowly mingling with the luxuriously sweet flavours of Madeira for nearly 14 years, giving a depth of flavour and an intense character that couldn't otherwise be created. It's a delicious dram, a dessert in a glass, and we are very much looking forward to sharing it with whisky drinkers in the UK."
