Special Features:

This Glen Elgin was distilled in April 2006 and matured for 16 years in a refill hogshead. Master of Malt bottled the whisky in June 2022 at 51%. The single cask yielded 271 bottles, with no added colouring or chill filtration.

Toffee, caramel and sweet pastries mingle with vanilla and milky coffee. Banana adds a fruity accent, while honey, grilled pineapple, ginger, chocolate and berries lead into a long, spicy oak finish.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: The nose reveals toffee, warm caramel, cake and buttery shortbread. Creamy oak follows alongside vanilla, milky coffee and green banana.
  • Palate: The whisky feels soft, smooth and waxy on the palate, with fudge leading into grilled pineapple and warming ginger. Condensed milk, chocolate-covered berries and gentle oak follow.
  • Finish: The long finish brings together chocolate and cherry with oak, butterscotch and lingering spices.

Distillery/Bottler:

The spirit for this Speyside single malt was distilled at Glen Elgin Distillery in April 2006. Completed in 1898, the distillery now operates six stills and traditional worm-tub condensers. Its light spirit is an important component of White Horse.

The whisky matured for 16 years in a refill hogshead before Master of Malt independently bottled it in June 2022 at 51%; the single cask yielded 271 bottles.

For its own single-cask releases, Master of Malt tastes numerous cask samples and selects only a proportion of them. Neither caramel colouring nor chill filtration is used, although the strength is reduced before bottling.
