- Description
- Glen Elgin's 16-year maturation in refill oak preserves the distillery's grassy, slightly herbal character while adding layers of dried stone fruit and subtle spice. Bottled at cask strength from a single refill puncheon, this expression offers restrained oak influence and a dry, elegant finish without excessive tannins. The texture is light to medium-bodied with clean, mineral undertones. A classic Speyside for those who favour subtle complexity over sherry richness.
