Glen Moray has added Forbidden Fruit to its range, inviting drinkers to “give in to temptation” with a single malt finished in French oak casks previously used for Calvados.
The new expression draws on the apple‑led spirit for subtle fruit notes and warm spice, building on a bourbon‑matured base in Glen Moray’s signature Speyside style.
The release is the third whisky in the Xperience Collection, following Phoenix Rising and Twisted Vine – respective tributes to charred‑oak and cognac cask maturation. Tasting notes highlight orchard fruits, sweet French pastries and fresh flowers, while bold packaging features a scarlet apple against Glen Moray’s dark blue, framed by golden leaves and a winding serpent.
Glen Moray Global Brand Ambassador Iain Allan said: “Cask exploration has been a huge part of the Glen Moray Distillery story for over a century, and Forbidden Fruit is a wonderful new testament to this heritage. It is a sweet, spicy and very moreish single malt which we’re sure will be a tempting treat for whisky fans to explore, whether they are connoisseurs or new to single malts.”
Forbidden Fruit will be available from April. It is bottled at 40% ABV in 70cl format with an RSP of £32.
