The bottling of a 16-year-old Glen Moray single malt was probably produced as an original bottling of the distillery in the late 1990s and comes in a tin box with a portrait of the Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment.
Glen Moray is a distillery near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1897 on the site of an older brewery (West Brewery). It was taken over in 1920 by Macdonald & Muir Ltd, who had bought Glenmorangie two years earlier. The distillery was sold to La Martiniquaise in September 2008 and is managed, together with the Starlaw distillery, by Martiniquaise's subsidiary Glen Turner Distillery Ltd.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
