Glen Moray Warehouse 1 - 2008 Manzanilla Finish, is said to celebrate the distilling team’s creativity with a fresh, evocative and luxurious dram. It’s a partnership of river and sea, bringing together the soft Spey water of Glen Moray’s spirit with the slightly sea-salt tang of Manzanilla sherry, which is famously only ever produced along the sea estuary of the Guadalquivir river.
This latest release, from the multi-award-winning Speyside
based distillery, is said to deliver notes including ripe pears, green apples, fresh
cut grass, oak spice and camomile tea.
Commenting on the launch, Iain Allen, Glen Moray Brand
Ambassador, said: “As distillers, this notion of ‘place’ is endlessly
fascinating, particularly as our home of Speyside is so much a part of the Glen
Moray story. We started to wonder what would happen if we brought Glen Moray
spirit and Manzanilla casks together? If Speyside met Cádiz in the barrel, what
would the results be? Soft with salt? Citrus with herbaceous? Questions like
these can get the team quite animated, to say the least, but only time can ever
answer their restless curiosity – and these results have been worth waiting
for. This is an exceptional whisky which represents the best of two very
different worlds in one unique malt.”
Iain, went onto say: “I’m thrilled that it’s closing out an
exceptional year for the relaunched Warehouse 1. But of course, innovation
doesn’t take time off for Christmas – we’re already well ahead in planning our
2022 expressions. We can’t wait to share some very special whisky in the year
ahead.”
Limited to 1240 bottles, Glen Moray Warehouse 1 - 2008
Manzanilla Finish, will be available exclusively in the UK later this month
from specialist retailers. RRP (tbc).
