Revered by blenders, Glen Elgin's forte is its fruitiness - and the best examples are not just fruity, they're lush. Clear wort, a long fermentation time and slow distillation help shape its signature profile. Condensing then takes place in worm tubs adding body and complexity (it remains one of only a handful of distilleries that still uses worm tubs). Official bottlings are a rare sight these days with only a 12YO in production as part of Diageo's Hidden Malt range. In this Bourbon matured expression, the nose speaks of honey drizzled cereals and ripe cantaloupe. The oily delivery is gorgeously textural, thick, fruity and long with ripe pears and poached apples balanced by a flash of tangerine zest and a gentle tannic grip. There is a strong semblance to high class Linkwood, Cragganmore or even some Clynelish in its delicious, almost tropical fruitiness and threads of beeswax. If you've never tasted this style of malt, here's a perfect place to start.

Capturing a fabulously creamy, rich Clynelish experience, it brings home why many rank this remote Highlander as one of Scotland's finest distillates. Denser and heavier than the 14 year old, although not quite as waxy, you will need time to tease it out and amplify the aromas of sweet bread, dried banana, honey and poached orchard fruits that reference ripe Alsation Pinot Gris. Matched by a thick, oily palate that includes shortbread, sponge cake, ripe pear and banana cake with a burst of beeswax and spice to finish and you have yourself an absolute treat. So much more intense than the 46% version, some may baulk at the price difference but in our opinion, it's worth it - this gets you closer to the 'real thing' which is becoming increasingly rare. Our only chagrin is that the 30ml sample wasn't bigger! It would be nice to see how this behaves with water and evolves after extended breathing.
