Official tasting notes.
Nose: Fresh, sparkling, and only slightly marked by the dry fortified wine: rather, it exhibits mineral and citrusy notes. A hint of beeswax, but it remains tight, nutty, with plenty of orange and orange peel.
Palate: Minerals, fresh, dry and vibrant: yes, there is a hint of tea and tannins due to the wood, but overall, it’s absolutely dominated by notes of oranges, bergamot, tangerine. Dry and juicy at the same time.
Finish: The warm oak starts to become more noticeable in the finale, with pleasant sweet notes of freshly sawn wood.

About Glen Elgin distillery.
Glen Elgin Distillery operates in Speyside’s Rothes Glen and has been crafting whisky since the 1900’s. Where many distilleries failed during the industry’s turbulent early years, Glen Elgin didn’t only survive, it thrived. What makes Glen Elgin whisky special in our opinion? It delivers classic honeyed, fruity Speyside character.
Traditional wooden washbacks ferment the whisky and worm tub condensers cool the spirit. This unassuming distillery creates whisky using old-school Speyside methods. As AI and automation reshape our world, there’s something comforting about distilleries that still champion authenticity over efficiency.
