Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Vanilla and toasted virgin oak open the nose, braided with resinous spice and a touch of biscuity sweetness. Rich oak depth unfurls cedar, clove and nutmeg, while ripe pear and yellow apple echo Glen Elgin's fruity Speyside character. A whisper of citrus zest adds lift, finished with a warming, high-ABV glow.
Palate
Silky yet bold, the palate opens with vanilla and ripe orchard fruit, lifted by a kiss of citrus. Virgin oak injects toasted spice - clove, nutmeg, a hint of cinnamon - and builds a sturdy, full-bodied frame. Smooth Glen Elgin fruit threads through the oak, finishing long, warm, and subtly resinous with a refined malt sweetness.
Finish
Long, warm finish dominated by vanilla and toasted spice from virgin oak, with firm oak tannins and a subtle resinous sweetness. A soft fruity echo lingers, revealing Glen Elgin’s smooth, fruit-driven core beneath the high-strength, oaken finish.
