Very few expressions of Glen Elgin have been bottled, so this is a rare treat. Released in 2003, this is a delicious honeyed, fruity dram from an often overlooked distillery that has long been rated 'First Class' by blenders lists.

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.

Beautiful depth of flavour. Very similar to Suntory Yamazaki 12 yr old single malt for those who are interested.
