Bourbon
A marvellous indie bottling of Glen Elgin, released as part of our very own Single Cask Series. This one was distilled in December 1995 (three days before Christmas - festive!) and left to age in a single bourbon cask for 22 years before being bottled in May 2018. No chill-filtration, no additional colours. None of that.
Lots of cask influence here – creamy vanilla and oak spice. Salted caramel covers apricot skin and hints of apple blossom. There’s faint white chocolate there too.
Sweet white fruit, grapes mostly, and a little sherbet lemon lead among plenty more oak which brings a pleasant drying quality. Prickling white pepper spice adds heat among some honeyed cereal and golden barley.
Long, gentle and relaxed.
Lovely stuff from Glen Elgin. It’s well-balanced and boasts length and complexity.
