Glen Moray
distillery has announced the launch of
a Virtual Whisky Series to encourage
flavour exploration and they have some
free Tasting Kits up for grabs.
Glen Moray has announced a new series
of online whisky events in a bid to take
UK drinkers on a virtual journey of
discovery, one delicious dram at a time.
Glen Moray’s monthly ‘Whisky Surgeries’
will be hosted on Zoom by the company’s
very own doctor and Head of Whisky
Creation, Dr Kirstie McCallum, gathering
curious drinkers who are missing out on
their usual distillery visits and
festivals this year.
The first ‘after hours’ surgery will
take place at 8pm on Tuesday 7th July
and will put the world of unusual cask
maturation under the microscope.
Participants can enjoy a virtual tasting
and discover the hidden gems found in
Glen Moray Distillery’s 'Warehouse 1',
where unusual casks and maturation
experiments are housed.
Throughout the event Dr Kirstie will
share her decades of knowledge and
experience as one of Scotch whisky's
leading creators, answering questions
and revealing the secrets behind Glen
Moray’s adventurous approach to flavour
50 spaces are available for this free
event, and the first 20 people who sign
up will each receive a complimentary
Glen Moray tasting kit, which contains
the new
Glen Moray Madeira Cask Project
and Rhum Agricole Cask Finish Project
expressions to enjoy during the event.
Further session will be announced over
the coming months.
Dr Kirstie McCallum commented: ‘I’m
really looking forward to presenting our
first Whisky Surgery session as there is
nothing I enjoy more than sharing a dram
with enthusiasts and chatting about one
of my favourite subjects – whisky
exploration.
‘Glen Moray has a unique history of cask
experimentation and I have a good few
anecdotes to share on the discoveries
that have been made in our distillery.
Bringing people who are interested in
whisky together to share knowledge is
another passion of mine so this new
series provides a great platform to do
this.’
Crafted since 1897 in the ancient town
of Elgin, the capital of the Speyside
whisky region, Glen Moray distillers
have been curious about flavour
throughout their history. Surviving
handwritten ledgers show that a wide
variety of casks were used to mature new
make spirit back in those early days,
which was an unusual practice for the
time. A deep knowledge and expertise of
wood has developed at Glen Moray through
generations of distillers, resulting in
today’s exceptional range of whiskies
with a style to suit everyone.
Glen Moray’s first Whisky Surgery is now
available to book on Eventbrite. To book
