Elgin Distillery Has A Trio of Warehouse 1 Exclusives for Gifting Season.
These three new selections from its award-winning Warehouse 1 Collection today each celebrates the marriage of classic Speyside single malt with some of Europe’s finest wine and sherry varieties.
Launched in 2020 and with a clutch of awards to its name since then, Glen Moray’s Warehouse 1 Collection promises limited release whiskies matured in the Elgin distillery’s famous blue-doored warehouse, where rarer and more experimental casks are tucked away – always non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength with natural colour.
The three are made up of Amarone Finish which showcases Glen Moray’s affinity with the full-bodied red wines of Italy; Amontillado Finish, adventuring beyond the whisky’s classic sherry maturation with dryer, deeper, richer notes; and Oloroso Fully Matured, Glen Moray spirit rested for eight years in Oloroso casks to release the rich, sweet notes of this characterful sherry.
These three limited-edition, UK exclusives are just in time for Christmas, making them the perfect gift for whisky lovers, old and new.
Glen Moray’s new Warehouse 1 expressions are available now from specialist whisky shops.
Glen Moray Warehouse 1 Amarone Finish
Finished in casks that once held Italy’s legendary Amarone red wine, offering rich, ripe fruity notes that are the perfect complement to Glen Moray’s classic Speyside
spirit.
Distillation 12.02.2010
Only 1194 bottles available
55.4% ABV
RRP £79.95
Tasting notes
Sweet and spicy notes of fig and cinnamon on the nose, transcending into a deep, rich chocolate cherry liqueur. Flavours of sweet brown sugar and notes of chocolate fade to reveal a burst of red cherry, with lingering fresh green peppercorn.
Glen Moray Warehouse 1 Amontillado Finish
Finished in casks that once held this dark sherry from the Montilla region of Spain, giving the
finished whisky its dry, deep, rich sherry notes.
Distillation 12.08.2013
Only 1248 bottles available
57.5% ABV
RRP £74.95
Tasting notes
An intense hit of caramel and chocolate on the nose, which morph into earthy notes of leather and tobacco expanding into rich, warm woody flavours with chocolate and hazelnut.
A gentle spice gives way toa buttery chocolate finish.
Glen Moray Warehouse 1 Oloroso Fully Matured
Dark, nutty Oloroso ("scented" in Spanish) plays an important part in finishing Glen Moray’s core range, but this is the distillery’s first expression to be fully matured in Oloroso casks.
Distillation: 06.06.2014
Only 1950 bottles available
60% ABV
RRP £76.95
Tasting notes
Oaky and malty aromas combine with hedgerow fruits, rich cacao and a subtle hint of toasted chestnuts on the nose. To taste there is sweet liquorice, notes of rich autumn leaves and tannin, and a nuttiness that transforms to oaky spice and a long, lingering sweet, dried fruit finish.
