Glen Elgin 16 Year Old 2006 Single Cask (Master of Malt) (56.1%)
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
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.
Palate
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.
Finish
A long finish of sweet candy floss, peach, and toasted marshmallow, leaving behind warm murmurs of ginger, nutmeg, and cassis.
