Glen Elgin Peated Islay Cask Finish - Cask Craft - Murray McDavid
Special features: The Glen Elgin Peated Islay Cask Finish is part of the Cask Craft Collection by Murray McDavid and is produced at the Glen Elgin Distillery in Speyside. The whisky initially matured in classic ex-bourbon hogsheads and then received a finish in casks that previously contained heavily peated Islay whisky. This gives it a zesty character with aromas of mild peat, citrus fruits, and honey. Additionally, it is not chill-filtered, which supports the diversity of aromas.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The nose reveals fruity aromas of orchard fruits, accompanied by mild pepper and a subtle hint of peat smoke. Over time, notes of chocolate also emerge.
- Palate: On the palate, it presents a medium to light body, characterized by flavors of orchard fruits, creamy vanilla, butter, and a subtle peat taste.
- Finish: The finish is medium to short, with a pronounced peat flavor accompanied by nuances of dark chocolate and leather.
