Glen Moray Tequila Cask Finish and Glen Moray Peated Tequila Cask Finish
On September 19, 2025, Glen Moray, the renowned Speyside distillery, introduced two exciting limited edition whiskies: Glen Moray Tequila Cask Finish and Glen Moray Peated Tequila Cask Finish. These innovative releases are the tenth addition to the distillery’s acclaimed Warehouse 1 Collection, marking a significant milestone in their cask exploration journey.
Unique Cask Maturation Experience
These small-batch whiskies are non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength, showcasing Glen Moray’s commitment to quality and authenticity. The Tequila Cask Finish was aged for eight years in Bourbon casks before being finished in Tequila barrels, resulting in a complex and sweet profile that enhances the distillery’s signature Speyside spirit’s fruity smoothness.
In a delightful twist, the Peated Tequila Cask Finish takes an eight-year-old peated Bourbon cask-matured whisky and finishes it in the same Tequila casks. This unique process yields a luxurious dram with vibrant aromas of dark chocolate and flavours of smoked banana. These two luxurious drams are bound to appeal to both peat enthusiasts and those who appreciate Glen Moray’s fruity character.
Perfect for the Festive Season
Glen Moray’s Global Brand Ambassador, Iain Allan, expressed excitement about these new releases, stating: “We invite whisky lovers to explore a raft of intriguing new flavours.” “Glen Moray Tequila Cask Finish magnifies our whisky’s sweet complexity, while Glen Moray Peated Tequila Finish is an intriguingly floral and smoky single malt.” He emphasised that both these whiskies unite vanilla softness with subtle citrus and thyme, making them ideal gifts for inquisitive whisky aficionados this festive season.
Limited Availability
With only 474 bottles of each whisky available, collectors and enthusiasts are encouraged to act quickly. The Glen Moray Tequila Cask Finish is priced at £85, while the Peated Tequila Cask Finish retails for £95, both bottled in 70cl. These limited releases, only available from select specialist UK whisky retailers, promise to be delightful additions to any whisky lover’s collection.
