Glen Elgin 11 years 2011 - 2022 #GE1122S
This Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the ultimate example of craftsmanship. Distilled at Glen Elgin Distillery, located in Speyside and aged for 11 years before being bottled as a Single cask bottling by Hidden Spirits, the independent bottler from Italy. The final period of maturation took place in an Oloroso Sherry cask. This finish enriches the flavour, with the sweet, nutty and fruity character of the sherry adding to the mellow character of Glen Elgin distillery.
Tasting note
Nose
The nose opens with aromas of juicy sultanas and candied orange peel, followed by a warm spiciness of nutmeg and a hint of oak.
Taste
At the first sip, the fullness of the whisky reveals itself with notes of syrupy honey, ripe plums and a complex spice palette with cinnamon and clove.
Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering sweetness and an elegant spiciness that caresses the tongue.
Glen Elgin Distillery
Glen Elgin Distillery is located in the Speyside region of Scotland, near the town of Elgin in Moray. Founded in 1898 by William Simpson and James Carle, the distillery has a rich history that has witnessed several ownership transitions and modernisations. Despite initial financial difficulties, Glen Elgin became an established name in the whisky world.
A unique feature of Glen Elgin is its use of a slow distillation process, which helps create a smooth and complex spirit. The distillery uses water from the Millbuies Springs, which provides a pure base for their whiskies. Glen Elgin whiskies are known for their fruity and floral flavour profiles, with notes of honey, vanilla, orchard fruit and a subtle hint of spice.
The whiskies are mainly matured in ex-bourbon casks, which ensures a balanced and refined flavour. Glen Elgin produces both single malts and whisky for blends, and their products are appreciated worldwide for their quality and complexity. The combination of a beautiful location, traditional techniques and high-quality production makes Glen Elgin a respected name in the world of Scotch whisky.
