Distillery/Bottler:

The Glen Moray Distillery stands in Elgin beside the River Lossie, on the site of the former Elgin West Brewery. After the brewery, established in 1830, was converted into a whisky distillery, the first spirit flowed there in 1897. Even in its early years, Glen Moray used a variety of cask types, including Marsala and sherry casks.

North Star Spirits is a family-run independent bottler from Glasgow, founded by Iain Croucher in 2016. The company selects individual casks and spirits for its release series, bottling the whisky from the chosen casks or the selected spirits; this Glen Moray appeared in Cask Series 020.
