Glen Elgin's 1997-vintage single malt, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 2018 after 20 years in first-fill sherry casks, presents a classically sherried Speyside profile with ripe fruit and polished wood evident throughout. The first-fill sherry butt imparts deep amber colour and rich dried-fruit intensity—raisins, dates, and subtle chocolate—while maintaining Glen Elgin's signature floral undertones. A well-integrated expression where sherry influence and distillery character coexist in balance. This suits experienced Scotch drinkers who appreciate traditional sherried Highland-Speyside malts.
