Glen Moray Distillery Takes A Starring Role In ‘The Three Drinkers Do Scotch Whisky’!

November 19, 2019 by Gary Leave a Comment

The Three Drinkers

The team at Glen Moray Distillery in Speyside were delighted to welcome The Three Drinkers to film part of their second series at the Distillery earlier this year. Airing the 1st week of December on Amazon Prime TV, the series focuses on a journey of discovery through Scotland, exploring the world of whisky in an exciting new way, with the film crew paying a visit to the Glen Moray Distillery in Elgin, Speyside.

Amazon Prime’s Three Drinkers, Aidy Smith, Colin Hampden-White and Helena Nicklin are three friends who take an entertaining look at the Scotch Whisky industry.

The good news is that quality whisky doesn’t have to be super expensive. I often introduce non-whisky drinkers to the spirit with Glen Moray, who have a varied range and start from as little as £17 a bottle.

They make single malts from Speyside and are perfect for starting a whisky journey.
– Helena Nicklin: The Three Drinkers

Iain Allan, Glen Moray Global Brand Ambassador, hosted The Three Drinker’s visit to Glen Moray Distillery and welcomed the opportunity to share with them the passion that goes into the production of the varied collection of single malts. They also looked at the brand’s extensive investment in exploring ageing techniques, where a diverse range of casks are used for finishing which gives distinctive and unique flavours to the spirit.

This has been a unique opportunity for Glen Moray Distillery to show the world the amazing team behind the brand and the outstanding quality of the whisky created whilst helping to make malt whisky approachable to consumers who can find whisky complex and intimidating.

Glen Moray is a brand with a little bit of heart and soul in every bottle.
– Laure Habbouse: International Marketing Manager

The Glen Moray Classic Range

Glen Moray Distillery has been producing the finest Single Malt for over 120 years and uses the skills developed over generations of Master Distillers and a small team of dedicated craftsmen from the local community to develop their unique flavours through their deep knowledge of maturation and casks. Every bottle of Glen Moray tells a story – the story of how that whisky has been made and the people that have been involved.

Over the past year Glen Moray have launched the Glen Moray Elgin Curiosity Range which embraces the distilleries passion for experimentation and pushing boundaries in the world of whisky. Marketed as ‘The Gateway to Flavour’ the whiskies in the range are ‘bold with complex aromas and exciting flavours’.

The first launch was the small batch release of Glen Moray Cider Cask Project, which has sold out, and following on from its huge success the Glen Moray Rhum Agricole. The distillery has also added to the prestigious Elgin Heritage Collection with the Glen Moray Elgin Heritage 21 Year Old Portwood Cask Single Malt Whisky and launched Glen Moray Fired Oak Cask 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky.

Glen Moray is available to buy from these Whisky Merchants:-

  • The Whisky Exchange
  • Master of Malt
  • Edencroft Fine Wine & Spirit Specialists
  • Abbey Whisky
  • The Whisky Barrel

Pour your glass of Benromach 1975, cask number 2230, and prepare to enjoy this delicious whisky. First, appreciate the rich amber colour created by lingering for 43 years in a single Refill Sherry Hogshead as the whisky grew and matured in character. Enjoy the aromas without water… stewed apple, dried fruits and winter spices mingle with caramelised brown sugar and roasted nuts leading to rich dark chocolate with hints of beeswax polish, mature oak and orange citrus.

Now  take a sip. Creamy milk chocolate, intense Seville orange top notes and a hint of cracked black pepper on the tongue lead to stewed plum and red apple. Dried tobacco and charred oak notes come to the fore with a hint of smoke. Add a few drops of water and take time to enjoy the developing aromas… intense orange and lime citrus notes are followed by stewed red fruits with an undertone of warm ginger and slight aniseed edge. Take a sip. Vibrant citrus fruits mingle with smooth strawberry and cream followed by hints of liquorice and gentle traces of lingering smoke on the finish. Superb!
