Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich dark amber with coppery highlights and a honey-gold glow.
Nose
Opulent and delicate on the nose, Glen Elgin unfurls honeyed orchard fruit, vanilla cream, and almond paste, touched by warm toffee and citrus zest. A refined sherry whisper brings dried fig and apricot with walnut notes, while polished oak and a hint of spice lend graceful, sculpted depth.
Palate
Silky and refined, the palate shows dried fig and raisin with baked apple and pear, all wrapped in toffee and almond. Sherry influence brings cocoa, leather and spice, while polished oak lends structure to a long, warm finish.
Finish
Long and luxurious, the finish unfolds with dark fruit—fig and raisin—alongside chocolatey cocoa, toasted oak and warming spice. It lingers in a velvety, gently nutty fade.
