Glen Elgin 12YO 700mL

On the nose, it’s delicate and refined, offering a welcoming bouquet of honeyed malt and ripe orchard fruits—think crisp apple, fresh pear, and a touch of apricot. There’s a gentle layer of vanilla, mingled with floral hints of heather and orange blossom. A trace of buttered toffee and a whisper of oak spice add depth without overwhelming the senses. The palate follows through with grace. It opens sweetly with layers of golden syrup and soft barley sugar, soon giving way to more complex notes of candied citrus peel, vanilla cream, and a suggestion of roasted nuts. A quiet spice emerges—subtle ginger and clove—alongside a delicate herbal freshness. Its mouthfeel is silky and medium-bodied, offering structure without heaviness. The finish is clean, medium in length, and softly drying. Lingering flavors of malted biscuits, lemon zest, and a faint oak warmth leave a satisfying, elegant impression
