In 1815, a beer brewery was built on the site of the distillery. In 1897 the brewery was converted into a distillery. The area of 'The o' Moray' was already known for its good quality barley at the time, because of the special climate in this area. This makes it 40 days longer in summer than elsewhere in Scotland. For this 16 year old Glen Moray one mainly uses Bourbon barrels, which are bought from the Makers Mark and Heaven Hill distilleries.
