An uncommon whisky as so much is in demand by blenders. Positive, aromatic and a whiff of smoke.

Sweet nose: Almonds, or marzipan? Some orange juice. Perhaps a trace of sawn wood. With water, Speyside esters, nut oil and buttery fat, prawn crackers, traces of fresh pears; a whiff of smoke or steam; dense. Pleasant mouthfeel; sweetish, then dryish, with some acidity between, all well balanced.

Glen Elgin

Glen Elgin Distillery was designed by Charles C. Doig and established beside the Morayshire Railway in Fogwatt in 1898 by William Simpson and James Carle. Glen Elgin Distillery is a Scottish Speyside malt whisky distillery equipped with six small stills and six round wooden worm tubs. Only a few official Glen Elgin single malt whiskies have been released since Glen Elgin contributes a large proportion of its whisky to White Horse blended scotch. Glen Elgin Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.
