Glen Moray Port Cask Finish Speyside Malt [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that bridges tradition with innovation through expert cask finishing?

The Glen Moray Port Cask Finish represents exceptional value in Speyside craftsmanship, where American oak maturation meets Portuguese port cask finishing from Porto Cruz. This dual-maturation process creates a distinctive rosy-gold whisky that stands apart from conventional single malts. While exploring premium cask-finished expressions, consider comparing this to the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask or the refined Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside for different regional interpretations.
