This independent bottling from Alexander Murray & Co is a single malt Scotch distilled at Glen Moray in 2002 and aged for 16 years before bottling at 40% ABV. The vintage year, 2002, is printed boldly on the label.
Glen Moray sits on the banks of the River Lossie at Elgin, in the heart of Speyside, and has been making whisky since 1897. Its house style is light, fruity and approachable, with soft orchard fruit, vanilla and honey, a character that gains depth and polish with long ageing.
Alexander Murray & Co selects casks from respected Scottish distilleries and bottles them under its own label, offering well-aged, vintage-dated single malts that are rarely seen from the distilleries themselves. Earlier releases from the same 2002 Glen Moray stock were bottled at cask strength at 12 and 13 years old; this 16-year-old is the gentler, more mature expression.
With sixteen years in oak and a clear vintage, it is an excellent gift for someone born or married in 2002, or for any lover of Speyside whisky.
Scotch whisky must be distilled and matured in Scotland for at least three years in oak casks, and any age statement on the label refers to the youngest whisky in the bottle.
