Discover the Legacy of Charles Doig: The Mastermind Behind Iconic Single Malt Distilleries and Glen Elgin Whisky. Charles Doig, a renowned designer of traditional single malt whisky distilleries, including the famous Glen Elgin Distillery, is credited with creating the distinctive pagoda roofs seen on many Scottish distilleries. During the late 1890s, while Glen Elgin was being built, Doig predicted that no new distilleries would be constructed in the Speyside region for the next 50 years, due to the decline of the whisky boom. His forecast was remarkably accurate, no new Speyside distilleries appeared until Tormore was established in 1958.
Glen Elgin single malt whisky is known for its rich and full-bodied flavour profile. Although it is primarily used in the popular White Horse whisky blend, it is a rare and exceptional single malt worth discovering for enthusiasts seeking authentic Speyside single malt whisky.
