Single Malt

Get your tasting glass ready, you're in for a treat! This single malt hails from Speyside's Glen Elgin distillery and spent 16 years maturing between 2006 and 2022. Initially resting in a single refill hogshead, the whisky was treated to a finish in an oloroso sherry cask, imparting oodles of sweet fruit notes to the delicate malt at its core. The whisky was bottled up by us, here at Master of Malt, releasing a total of 312 bottles as part of our Single Cask series.
Sharp pressed apple juice and tangy cooking apples, plus a touch of white grape and zingy gooseberry. Fluffy pancakes bring a helping of golden syrup, with rich notes of dark orange chocolate.
Super fruity – like a mixed fruit salad, dusted with icing sugar. Things develop to become jammier with juicy cherries and berries opening the way for some oak and spice.
A long finish of sweet candy floss, peach, and toasted marshmallow, leaving behind warm murmurs of ginger, nutmeg, and cassis.

Tasted of nothing except a sherry cask finish. Doesn’t seem like the initial maturation achieved anything at all, which may explain why someone felt the need to finish this whisky in another cask. Wouldn’t recommend at all, and don’t see how anyone can have come up with the Tasting Notes above. Have already reviewed this once, but my review hasn’t appeared.
