From the Glen Elgin distillery, nestled in the tiny Speyside hamlet of Fogwatt comes this 16-year-old single malt. Distilled in 2006, the whisky was later treated to a stay in an oloroso hogshead before bottling in 2022, when we felt it had reached liquid perfection, and added 336 bottles to our collection of Master of Malt exclusive releases.

Zesty, creamy notes of lemon posset and yellow plum. Buttery madeleines, flaked almond, and sweet key lime pie with a ginger snap base.
A glorious dollop of clotted cream counters fragrant green peppercorns, silky honey, and syrupy fruit suggestions of boiled sweeties. Peaches and cream.
Sweet shop notes linger with chalk candies and barley sugars. Things remain creamy with coatings of vanilla, and beneath, delicate woody spice hovers in perfect harmony.
Great whisky
Struggling with this one, I think there’s a good whisky there, but it’s very dominant on the noise by one smell. But for a 16 year for that price it’s not bad. But you can tell it’s a refill. I’m hoping it will improve with time
For this age and strength at this price point, this seemed to be a huge bargain. Then I tasted it. OK, I don't have a sophisticated palate but my very first sniff suggested urine, or more likely sulfur, as someone else suggested. The taste was just more of the same acrid sulfur, or whatever. Neither time in the glass nor a little water helped. This whisky is a stinker, in my opinion.
Another first time reviewer, and as per the previous reviewer please take anything I say with a pinch of salt too... This a complex and challenging whiskey, one that triggered conversation for over an hour as we discussed the flavour profile. You can't get away from that dominant buttery burnt popcorn...or even akin to pork scratching which really does dominate the palate, until creamy fruity notes intersect. I'm surprised it isn't mentioned at all in the tasting notes. On the nose strangely you get little hint of that smokey overtone to come...just the fruit and cream... Not my favourite whiskey but definitely one of the most interesting I've ever tasted.
To add to my previous review, if I restrict myself to this one malt in one evening, this is a really lovely drink. It is very singular, and it doesn't mix well with other milder whiskies, but it has real character and if you're willing to accept something outside the box, this may be for you. It has similarities to but is much more complex and rewarding than the bourbons to which it has a superficial resemblance.
