12-year-old

About

Glen Elgin 12 Year Old is a classic Speyside single malt from a distillery established in 1898, nestled in the Morayshire highlands where the River Lossie flows. This whisky showcases a refined character that balances floral elegance with fruity warmth, delivering a complex yet approachable dram. The spirit's soft, malty foundation is supported by subtle spice and wood notes, making it a well-rounded expression. Nose: Floral notes take centre stage, mingling with honey and orchard fruits, alongside hints of toffee and ginger. Palate: A soft, malty base with citrus and stone fruits, honeyed cereals, and sweet fudge flavours, followed by warming spices like nutmeg and pepper. Finish: Medium-length with lingering spice, mild oak, and a touch of salt. Glen Elgin 12 Year Old pairs beautifully with mild cheeses or works well as an aperitif, thanks to its accessible profile and pleasant complexity.
