Glen Elgin 1971 / 32 Year old
Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky

Tasting Notes:

Producer's Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant. Cedary. Honeyed. Wonderfully rich, fruity strawberry jam nose with mellow pear drops. Some warm, even caramelised sugar. With water less pronounced but still sweet.

Body: Soft, rich, tongue-coating.

Palate: Clean, sweet. Smooth, not cloying. A hint of Seville orange. Intense honey.
Cereal-grain. Drinks very well straight and needs very little water, which introduces a slight saltiness.

Finish: Gently drying. Shortbread. Deep and mellow, with faded lemon-sherbets

Tasting Notes by Dave Broom

Nose: Mature, elegant and complex. Rancio, mulch, toasty wood, hazelnut, mango, black cherry, clootie dumpling, light smoke.

Palate: Fragrant but pretty firm. Needs water to soften the oak and reveal peach, chestnut honey, dried fruit and a hint of smoke. Balanced.

Finish: Cocoa, beech nut. Cognac like.

Comment: A classic from one of Speyside's forgotten greats.

Brand Info:
Glen Elgin

From the website:

Glen Elgin Distillery is situated 10 miles south of where the river Lossie exits to the sea and about 40 miles east of Inverness.  Founded at the end of the whisky boom in 1898, it was built and designed by the notable distillery architect Charles Doig of Elgin.  A 'First Class' malt much loved by blenders, Glen Elgin was for years most often tasted in the blended Scotch, White Horse.  Today, once again, it is available as a splendid single malt, and as the summer house-martins swoop among the worm tubs at this traditional distillery on the edge of the Royal Burgh of Elgin, little seems to have changed in a hundred years.
