Product Description

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.

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.
