Origin & Production: Produced in Speyside’s Elgin region, Glen Moray Chardonnay Cask Finish is a testament to the brand’s willingness to experiment with cask maturation. After initial aging in traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels, the whisky undergoes a finishing period in Chardonnay wine casks from Burgundy, France. This imparts unique layers of fruitiness and soft wine influence to the spirit’s classic Speyside profile.
 

Tasting Notes: The nose is fresh and vibrant with ripe pear, green apple, and vanilla custard, complemented by a hint of toasted almonds. On the palate, tropical fruits and orchard notes merge with creamy toffee and subtle spice. The Chardonnay casks add a delicate wine-like acidity that balances the sweetness. The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering citrus and white chocolate.
 

Serving Suggestion: Perfect served neat or with a splash of water to enhance the fruity notes. It also shines in a whisky sour, where the bright fruit character complements fresh lemon juice.
