Explore the
taste of the Glen Moray whisky range
this summer with some cask flavour influenced
restaurant quality food and
drinks created by award winning chef Ben Tish
and sommelier Julien Hennebelle which you can make yourself at
home.
 Glen Moray has got together with
award-winning chef and food writer Ben
Tish to present ‘Cask Stories’ which
dives into the world of wood to explore
the importance of cask flavour and
character of their Glen Moray Port,
Sherry, Madeira and Fired Oak
expressions.
For those of you who are still
understandably wary of venturing out to
a restaurant this summer in the current
ongoing Covid-19 climate Ben has created
some top restaurant quality Glen Moray
influenced food dishes and to wash them
down Ben’s long standing head sommelier
Julien Hennebelle has collaborated with
him to create four long, refreshing Glen
Moray cocktails – perfect for summer
drinking and Glen Moray assure me that
they are packed with flavour to pair
perfectly with each tapas dish.
Ben, who is the Culinary Director of
London’s Norma Restaurant and Stafford
Hotel, has a long held passion for the
food and flavours of Mediterranean and
Moorish regions, this has given him the
inspiration to create a selection of
easy to make tapas dishes and cocktails
- inspired by each Glen Moray whisky,
the cask it is finished in and his
extensive travels exploring the culinary
traditions of Porto, Jerez and Madeira.
And as a barbecue expert, Ben has also
created an option to match the smoky,
charred flavours of Glen Moray’s Fired
Oak expression.
Food and drink fans will be taken on a
journey through Glen Moray’s ‘cask
hotspots’, as Ben shares stories of his
favourite bars, restaurants and dining
memories, and the creative spark behind
each tapas dish and drink.
Ben and the Glen Moray team will be
sharing stories, recipes, cocktails
ideas and a series of films over the
summer, with Instagram live events
planned for August. Ben commented: "I’m
really excited to be working with Glen
Moray and developing Mediterranean
inspired recipes to match these
brilliant whiskies. I’ve loved
Mediterranean food for years and my
latest book Moorish focuses on the
regions that are covered in the Elgin
cask series. The flavours of the whisky
are clear and fresh - perfect for my
style and a pleasure to work with. Some
great summery cocktails too, from our
bar man and sommelier Julien."
Glen Moray’s UK Sales Director Claire
Baigrie added: "Glen Moray is one of the
most adventurous malt whiskies available
and we have always pushed the boundaries
when it comes to the casks we use for
maturation. Our new partnership with Ben
is a way to really explore and celebrate
these flavours, and the wonderful
results of our new make spirit meeting
seasoned casks from different parts of
the world. Ben is an absolute expert in
the places where our casks originate and
we are thrilled to have him tell our
cask stories to food and drink lovers.
This is an invitation to come with us on
a journey to learn more about flavour
and to enjoy whisky in a way that really
breaks down the barriers of how and when
single malt whisky should be enjoyed. At
a time when summer holidays to these
regions are limited, we hope Glen Moray
fans will enjoy the ride!"
