One of Speyside’s larger distilleries, Glen Moray was the black sheep of Macdonald & Muir’s portfolio for decades, where it was understandably overshadowed by Glenmorangie (and later Ardbeg). The distillery was sold by Glenmorangie plc’s owners LVMH to French company La Martiniquaise at the end of 2008, since when it has supplied fillings for Label 5 blended whisky, which is unknown in the UK but is one of the bestselling Scotch whisky brands worldwide.
Away from the bottom shelf wine finishes first popularised in the Glenmorangie era, official bottlings of Glen Moray have included some superb old vintage editions, with the 1959 40-year-old and several excellent 1960s-70s vintage bottlings demonstrating what the distillery was really capable of. La Martiniquaise have not changed the formula much but deserve credit for releasing further prestige editions including the recent Glen Moray Mastery.
Thompson Bros is an independent whisky bottler launched by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson, owners of Dornoch distillery and the Dornoch Castle Hotel in the northeastern Highlands.
The Thompson Bros operation was originally set up as an indie bottler to raise funds for the brothers’ Dornoch micro-distillery project but has since become a successful enterprise in its own right, with hundreds of bottlings under their belt at the time of writing in 2025. The Thompsons are big fans of old school whisky and their whiskies are bottled without colouring or chill filtration, usually at cask strength.
