The Glen Moray Glen­livet Dis­tillery is a dis­tillery in Spey­side, Scot­land that pro­duces sin­gle malt scotch whisky. The dis­tillery is owned by Glen­morangie plc. Their main prod­uct is the Glen Moray brand of sin­gle malt scotch whisky, and like the malt whisky pro­duced at the Glen­morangie dis­tillery, Glen Moray malt is also used in the com­pa­nies range of blended whiskies, Bailie Nicol Jarvie and High­land Queen. Glen Moray is also used in small quan­ti­ties in vat­ted malt whisky Glen­morangie plc sell to inde­pen­dent bottlers.

His­tory

Glen Moray started life, like sis­ter dis­tillery Glen­morangie, as a brew­ery and was con­verted to a dis­tillery with 2 stills in 1897. Early life at Glen Moray was unevent­ful and the dis­tillery closed in 1910. The dis­tillery was pur­chased by Glenmorangie’s own­ers, the Mac­Don­ald and Muir fam­i­lies at some time dur­ing the 1920s. The dis­tillery received 2 addi­tional stills in 1958 and at present has an annual capac­ity of around 2,000,000 litres.
