Glen Moray 18 years 2007 – 2025 #5780 Crafted in Cask

Berry Bros. & Rudd, the UK’s oldest independent bottler, is renowned for its craftsmanship and innovative approach. With the Crafted in Cask series they present single malts that have undergone a special second maturation in unique wine casks. The aim is to preserve the distillery’s character while adding a new dimension through distinctive cask influences.

This Glen Moray, distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2025, was finished in rare Muscat casks. The result is a fruity and elegant Speyside single malt where Glen Moray’s honeyed style harmonises beautifully with the floral and grapey notes of Muscat.
