The distillery has operated continuously since converting from a brewery in 1897 and is now owned by La Martiniquaise. The 12-year expression uses exclusively American oak ex-bourbon maturation, producing the distillery's signature summer fruit and vanilla character without sherry influence — clean, honeyed, and mellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky collection\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, sweet, and floral — vanilla toffee, fresh summer fruits, berry notes, and a hint of freshly cut grass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and mellow — toasted oak transitions to summer fruit sweetness, with light vanilla and gentle honey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and medium-length with a subtle oak fade and clean fruit linger\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glen Moray, Elgin, Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge Statement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e American oak ex-bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs Glen Moray 12 a good beginner Scotch?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — it is one of the most recommended entry-level Speyside single malts for its clean, approachable profile and honest price-to-quality ratio.
