- Description
- Released in 1997 to mark Glen Moray's centenary, this bottling drew from 1976–1979 casks that spent their final decade in port pipes after initial ex-bourbon maturation. The extended port-wood influence imparts dried-fruit sweetness and wine-like character while maintaining underlying distillery character. This limited release suits collectors seeking commemorative expressions with provenance and mature wood complexity.
