- Description
- Glen Elgin's 13-year journey from 2011 to 2025 in a refill oloroso sherry hogshead yields this independently bottled expression from Adelphi, released without colour adjustment or chill filtration. The sherry cask infuses dried fruit, toffee, and warm spice into the malty foundation, creating a rich and rounded profile. Texture is generous and warming, with lingering notes of raisins and oak spice on the finish. Well-suited to those who appreciate how sherry influence can enhance Speyside's naturally sweet character.
