- Description
- Glen Elgin's single cask (2013, ex-Catoctin Creek rye barrel) matured for 10 years to yield just 135 bottles at 58.8% ABV, capturing the Speyside character infused with rye's spicy influence. The interplay of Glen Elgin's orchard fruit and honey with the cask's rye spice and oak creates complexity uncommon at this age. The texture is full-bodied and warming, with a spice-driven finish. A limited single-cask expression for those seeking Speyside depth beyond standard distillery releases.
