It’s back to sampling pours from the distillery tour group. Next up: Glen Elgin 12. Glen Elgin is a Speyside distillery that originally opened in 1898. They are primarily supplying malts for White Horse blends, which I’m not sure are even available here in the states. They only single malt they bottle is the 12 year and it also isn’t available stateside. It’s a deep amber and gold color and makes very few legs. It’s bottled at 43%. The nose is predominantly honey and sherry sweetness with banana and biscuit flavors mingling throughout. There’s a light oak spice present, as well. The palate was more spicy, with almonds and sherry notes. There was a slight hint of tea leaves and biscuits again. The mouthfeel was oily and thick. The finish is medium length and malt heavy. There’s a heavy spice and oak hit at the very end. Overall, it’s a solid offering but it doesn’t offer anything exciting over many readily available Speyside sherry cask bottles. Thanks to @Scott_E for the pour. I’d say this one is easily crushable and enjoyable. 3.5 stars. Cheers.
