The second distillery of the day was Glen Moray. Truth to be told this was not my choice because of their excellent reputation or exciting products - I chose Glen Moray because they are the only distillery in the area that allowed kids on the tour, and I really want to show the little one what his father enjoys to drink and how it is made.

 

 

 

Glen Moray was far more industrial (with proper process control, a DCS, you name it …), but the tour was well made and little one asked a lot of questions, with about half of them actually related to the tour.

 

 

1337 🤣

 

 

The most interesting part was the warehouse. Glen Moray is focusing on providing different cask finishes on their products, and they had open casks to showcase the different characters one can imprint onthe basic product. You could sniff & smell the differences.

 

 

 

Accordind to the little one, the port finish was the best. I bought a bottle for his 18th birthday …

 

They had quite a few warehouses, a contrast to the single one at Benromach …

 

 

 

In the tasting room I added the samples to my drivers kit …

 

By now we had all worked up an appetite and I started preparing linner:

 

 

A coupe of snacks, pie, grilled lamb and steamed mussels in garlic sauce. All accompanied by a nice beer in the sunshine …

 

 

 

The day was concluded a bit earlier with a lemon pie (commercial, very good) …

 

 

Aaaand a belated sampling for yours truly 🥳

 

 

Is the orange cup for spitting?
