Glen Elgin 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl
Honey-sweet character, often called fruitcake in a bottle. Sweet marzipan fragrances and pleasant sweet wood flavours, drying on the finish
Serving Suggestion: Glen Elgin works best served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water.
Smooth to medium body with a pleasant mouthfeel.
Dryish, balanced finish.
Sweet. Almonds, or marzipan? Some orange juice. Perhaps a trace of sawn wood. With water, Speyside esters, nut oil and buttery fat, prawn crackers, traces of fresh pears; a whiff of smoke or steam; dense.
Sweetish, then dryish, with some acidity between; all well balanced.
