- Description
- Glen Elgin's 25-year single cask (1991–2016) was distilled just before the distillery's significant closure and refurbishment, making it a vestige of an earlier production era. Aged in ex-bourbon, this whisky displays mature honey and cereal sweetness with building oak spice and leather notes, bottled at cask strength without filtration to preserve complexity. A collectible expression suited to those seeking older Speyside character and historical context in their whisky.
