A 15-year-old Speyside single malt from Glen Elgin, bottled for Highlander Inn Chichibu as a single cask release. It was distilled in 2008 and released in 2023 at a cask strength of 54.1% ABV from a refill hogshead.
For a novice drinker, this style often points to a spirit-led whisky where the distillery character can show clearly, with refill wood adding structure rather than heavy cask influence. Single cask bottlings can vary from barrel to barrel, so this is likely to offer an individual snapshot of the distillate rather than a standard house profile.
