Glen Elgin
In Jim Murray’s opinion, Glen Elgin is making a strong case to be Diageo’s top Speysider and that is saying something considering the portfolio includes the likes of Mortlach, Cragganmore and Dailuaine (among others). The flagship 12 year old bottled by the distillery is a phenomenal whisky for sure and shows a solid baseline for what the distillery’s pot stills can achieve.
Historically the backbone of the White Horse Blended Scotch whisky, Glen Elgin’s spirit is prized for its richness and depth. Making use of traditional pot stills and worm tubs instead of modern condensers mean that the resultant whisky has a fruity, forward profile that takes enthusiastically to sherry wood.
As the whisky matures it develops a fine, sweet smoke character reminiscent of mesquite or cherry wood fire as well as a smooth frangipani and hazelnut profile.
