Description
The Glen Moray Elgin Classic Chardonnay Cask Finish is an exceptional single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region, which is known for its special maturation in former Chardonnay white wine casks. The Glen Moray Distillery, which has been producing high-quality whiskies in Glen Elgin, Scotland, since 1897, combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative cask ageing with this bottling.
After an initial maturation phase in American oak casks, the whisky is finished in Chardonnay casks, which gives it a remarkable fruitiness and a gentle elegance. This special cask maturation brings out subtle notes of ripe fruit, honey and vanilla, which combine harmoniously with the classic malt and oak flavours. With an alcohol content of 40% by volume, this single malt offers a pleasant smoothness and a balanced depth that makes it interesting for both whisky beginners and experienced connoisseurs.

A versatile single malt that opens up new flavour horizons.
