- Description
- Glen Elgin's 2011 distillation matured for 14 years before a minimum 24-month finishing in European oak Bual Madeira hogsheads, bringing rich, honeyed character to Speyside's typical orchard fruit profile. The Madeira cask influence adds layers of dried fruit, toffee, and subtle spice complexity. A limited release of 472 bottles that suits contemplative evening drinking or as a gateway to cask-finished Speyside expressions.
