Glen Moray Chardonnay Cask Finish Speyside Malt [700ML]

Description

What happens when Scottish tradition meets French winemaking elegance in a single bottle?

Glen Moray Chardonnay Cask Finish represents a masterful example of double maturation, where Speyside craftsmanship is enhanced by innovative wine cask finishing. This expression showcases Glen Moray’s century-old expertise in cask finishing techniques, creating a whisky that bridges traditional Scottish distilling with continental wine influences. Unlike straightforward single malts such as aged Speyside expressions or Caribbean cask finishes, this bottling offers a uniquely crisp, wine-influenced profile.
