- Description
- Dallas Dhu distilled this whisky in 1980, shortly before the Speyside distillery closed in 1983, and it was bottled by Gordon & Macphail in 2001. The whisky carries the regional character of Elgin—home to both the distillery and the independent bottler. This is a rare example of a closed distillery, offering both historical significance and a snapshot of Speyside character from that era.
