- Description
- Glen Moray's 21-year-old begins its maturation in bourbon casks before finishing in Port pipes, creating the Portwood expression within the Elgin Heritage range. Bourbon ageing establishes a fruity Speyside foundation, while Port finishing adds dried fruit sweetness and wine-like complexity. Bottled at 46.3% ABV without chill-filtration, the whisky retains its full texture and nuance. This suits those seeking balanced, fruit-forward Speyside with the added dimension of fortified wine influence.
