Glen Elgin Cooper's Choice - Single Cask #9043 Whisky 17 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery glints and a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Sherry-finished Glen Elgin unfurls a rich bouquet of dark dried fruits—prune, fig, raisin—lifted by orange zest, toffee and vanilla. Subtle oak and cocoa mingle with spice notes of clove and nutmeg, touched by almond and a whisper of caramel. A warm, velvety nose that promises depth and sweetness.

Palate

Silky, medium-full on the palate, this Glen Elgin sherry-finished single cask coats the mouth with richness: raisin, fig, date mingle with dark chocolate, toffee and orange zest. Subtle spice—cinnamon, nutmeg—and toasted oak lift the fruit, while a creamy vanilla baseline holds it together. Long, warming finish echoes dried fruit and cocoa, delivering refined Speyside charm.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with dark fig and raisin clothed in cocoa and toasted almond. Sherry sweetness lingers, braided with warm spice—cinnamon and clove—while orange zest gives a bright lift. Subtle oak tannins frame the tail, fading to a velvety, warming ember of caramel and vanilla.
