Though the label cannot display this bottling’s source, the name cites the monastery, Pluscarden [PLUS•car•den] Abbey, with which the distillery shares its grounds. The distillery’s light and more-ish malt contributes to one of Scotch whisky’s most popular blends, and it pairs perfectly here with an ex-PX sherry cask to create an inviting—and exclusive—single malt dram.
