Stalla Dhu Single Cask Glen Elgin 11 Year Old Madeira Finish Cask Strength - 56.7% 70cl

This 11 year old bottling of Glen Elgin was distilled in 2011 and released at the cask strength of 56.7% after a resting period in an ex Madeira cask, with only 315 bottles available.

Glen Elgin holds a reputation for producing a distinctively fruity spirit, often described as having notes of orchard fruits and citrus.

In the past, it was playing a major role in the production of blended whiskies, especially White Horse, and in 1997 was bought by its current owner, Diageo. Surprisingly, it’s rarely seen as a single malt.

Another interesting fact about this Speyside distillery is the long fermentation process, the use of wooden washbacks, instead of the more common stainless-steel ones, and the slow distillation.

These factors contribute to the development of complex flavour esters and aromas, adding extra layers of complexity into the whisky.
