Elgin in Speyside and is one of very few distilleries in the region producing both peated and unpeated spirit on the same site; it also runs a triple-distilled batch once a year. The house distillation is deliberately slow, taking a long heart of the run to capture esters, which is where the fruit-forward character of the spirit comes from. The Cask Edition series bottles that spirit one barrel at a time: Master Blender Rachel Barrie selects individual casks from the distillery's collection, and each is bottled at its natural strength with no chill filtration and no added colour, then hand-numbered with the cask number printed on the label. This bottling is cask 2221: peated spirit filled on 17th June 1994 into a single Pedro Ximenez puncheon, bottled in 2024 at twenty-nine years and 55.1% ABV, with no selecting partner named on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eAuthentication \u0026amp; Vault Preservation\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"details-content\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold through \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/authentication-standards\" class=\"mw-accent\"\u003eMidnight Whiskey\u003c\/a\u003e is sourced as an authentic, sealed product and inspected before it ships.
