Glen Moray just clinched the crown for World’s Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky at the 2025 London Spirits Competition—and it’s a bottle that won’t break the bank. This Speyside stunner stood out among thousands of entries from over 30 countries, earning top marks from a judging panel stacked with master blenders and elite mixologists. Aged 15 years and matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, Glen Moray’s award-winning expression is part of their Elgin Heritage range and clocks in at a smooth 40% ABV.

From first pour to final sip, the Glen Moray 15 whisky delivers a flavor profile that punches well above its price point. Expect a nose of caramel, spicy oak, and rich dried fruits—think chocolate-covered raisins in the best way possible. On the palate, it’s a velvety dance of cocoa, sherry sweetness, toasted oak, and just enough tropical fruit to keep things interesting. Hints of malt and baking spices round out the experience, finishing with a long, warming trail of chocolate and cooked grains.

Whether you’re just getting into single malts or are a seasoned Scotch drinker looking to add a new classic to your shelf, this bottle hits the sweet spot between complexity, approachability, and value. Glen Moray 15 proves that world-class whisky doesn’t have to come with a collector’s price tag—just a collector’s palate.
