16-year-old

About

Glen Elgin is a refined light and floral-fruity single malt from the Speyside town of Elgin, distinguished by its elegant character and understated charm. This 16-year-old cask strength release demonstrates the maturity and complexity achieved through over a decade and a half of careful maturation. At 58.5% ABV, this powerful bottling delivers a full sensory experience without dilution, showcasing the distillery's characteristic style. The nose reveals ripe fruit, stewed berries, and subtle butterscotch undertones with restrained yet inviting aromas. The palate balances fruity sweetness with earthy depth—cherry, honey, and caramel form the sweet foundation, complemented by assertive oak, pepper, and hints of smoke. Green apple, citrus, and almond notes add sophistication, while the finish builds with a dry, peppery wave and lingering oak tannins that showcase the whisky's cask strength character.
