Glen Elgin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

Check availability with your local retailer

Honey-sweet character, often called fruitcake in a bottle. Sweet marzipan fragrances and pleasant sweet wood flavours, drying on the finish

Serving Suggestion: Glen Elgin works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.

"A combination of long, slow ferments, and distillation coupled with worm tubs gives a ludicrously fruity spirit, which here is bulging with ripe peach, apricot, and Galia melon coated in cinnamon and nutmeg, given thick weight by the worm tubs. A classic."

Dave Broom, Whisky Advocate Summer 2013, p.114

"Ginger, crystallised barley sweet and a complex array of fruit on the nose, a beautiful balanced taste with light fruit, sweet spice and a zesty freshness and mouth filling finish."

Dominic Roskrow, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.11

"It is always good to try something that you have never sampled before, and Glen Elgin gets a tick from us both in terms of character and as another distillery on our ever growing list."
