- Description
- Glen Elgin's eight-year-old single malt was matured entirely in first-fill bourbon barrels by independent bottler Dràm Mòr, concentrating vanilla, caramel, and light orchard fruit typical of the Speyside distillery. The double dose of ex-bourbon wood creates generous oak influence and creamy mouthfeel for a whisky at this age. A vibrant, cask-forward bottling for those who favour bourbon barrel maturation and approachable youth.
