A generous and well-balanced Glen Elgin 12-year-old cask, matured in a Refill Hogshead since January 2014.
Refill hogsheads are ideal for showcasing distillery character, allowing Glen Elgin’s naturally honeyed, fruity and floral spirit to develop steadily while picking up gentle oak influence, soft vanilla sweetness and rounded spice.
This cask offers an impressive combination of volume, strength and clarity of style. At 58.49% current cask strength, it retains excellent vibrancy and structure, making it well suited for a clean, elegant single-cask bottling that highlights classic Speyside character.
Selected from a privately held parcel for its balance, yield and bottling appeal.
About Glen Elgin Distillery
Founded in 1898 near Elgin in Speyside, Glen Elgin is admired for its soft, honeyed and delicately fruity spirit.
While much of its production supports blends, Glen Elgin casks are increasingly sought after by independent bottlers for their consistent quality and refined maturation.
Typical Glen Elgin character includes:
-
Sweet orchard fruits
-
Light honey and vanilla
-
Gentle floral notes
-
A smooth, approachable texture
Maturation in a 1st Fill Oloroso Hogshead adds richness, depth and warmth — resulting in a layered, elegant whisky with both sweetness and complexity.
