- Description
- Glen Elgin's 1991 vintage aged for 20 years in refill sherry butt 2325, bottled by Signatory at cask strength in November 2011 as one of 574 numbered bottles. The refill sherry cask has imparted dried fruit, warm spice, and subtle leather notes while preserving the distillery's characteristic fruity, slightly spicy character. The texture is rich and coating with a persistent finish balancing oak influence against underlying malt sweetness. A mature Speyside expression for those appreciating sherry influence without excessive wood dominance.
