- Description
- Glen Elgin's 11-year-old, matured in a Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead and bottled by Wormtub Whisky as a cask-strength release (386 bottles), showcases the distillery's worm tub condenser at its most expressive. The heavy, robust copper pot still character—a hallmark of the worm tub condensing process—combines with sherry cask influence to create rich, layered flavours of dried stone fruit, spice, and deep wood. Worm tub condensers impart a distinctive oiliness and intensity that standard condensers cannot achieve. A specialist's dram for those appreciating the technical foundations of Scotch distillation.
