Glen Moray Competition


To help celebrate the launch of their dramspankingly new 21 Year Old Portwood Finish expression, we’ve teamed up with our very good friends at the Elgin based Glen Moray Distillery, to give away a bottle to one of our fabulous followers.
Glen Moray 21 Year Old Portwood Finish (46.3% ABV) is the latest edition to their Elgin Heritage Collection of single malt Scotch whiskies, and is said to be an excellent example of how the interaction of the whisky and the Port cask during the finally stages of maturation can bring through beautiful multi-layered notes, combining the spicy sweetness from the ex-bourbon casks and the rich wine flavours from the Port casks imported from Portugal.
To be in with a chance of winning a bottle of Glen Moray 21 Year Old Portwood Finish click here to email us your contact details and date of birth, along with the phrase that dramming pays:
“I’d love to share, sip and savour the
latest port finished Speyside sensory
story from the mighty Glen Moray”
*Remember to mark the subject line of your email with: Glen Moray 21 Port Comp
If you’re on Twitter, you can also follow us via @TheWhiskyWire and RT one of our related competition tweets for another chance to win!
Glen Moray 21 Year Old Portwood Finish is now available from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £125.00.

Whisky Insiders Interview No.100 - Nick Savage



Company:
Bladnoch Distillery

Job:
Master Distiller

How long have you been working in the whisky industry?
I started working in the Scotch whisky industry in 2007, with Diageo at the technical centre in Menstrie. The main focus there was around cask maturation, losses and innovation, but it was great to be immersed by all the other areas of the technical aspects of spirits production.

What has been your biggest career highlight to date?
Thus far, it would have to be being part of the Macallan in 2018. I believe that 2018 was genuinely a game changing year for the Macallan, with the new distillery, new releases (including their oldest ever release), innovations and continuous breaking of auction records. It’s a year that I can’t see being replicated ever again, so it was a privilege just to be involved.

Can you remember your first dram, and indeed what it was?
From memory, my first Scotch dram was Johnnie Walker Black label. My first overall dram may well have been Jameson, but I’d be lying if I said that was 100% true!
