Sophisticated Speysider from the little-known Glen Elgin distillery. Vanilla-toffee sweetness and a splendid fruit salad on the nose, joined by butter, wood and spice on the tongue. This 18-year-old whisky is made by combining whisky matured in two types of casks: sherry-style butts and refill European oak. A balanced and enticing dram. This whisky was made in experimental fashion and some of the spirit was distilled using a yeast more commonly found in the production of millet beer.###Product Description###Product Description Although founded at the end of the whisky boom in 1898, Glen Elgin did not actually start production until 1900 when the building designed by the distillery architect Charles Doig of Elgin was finally completed. It then managed to change hands a couple times before achieving any notable success. The distillery today still lies close to mouth of the River Lossie.Tasting NotesNut brittle and a touch of oaky smoke.
