GLEN ELGIN 12 YEAR OLD
SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT
43% ABV / 70cl
Prized by blenders, the Speyside distillery of Glen Elgin produces a robust, fruity spirit that is probably best known as a key component of the highly regarded White Horse blend. Built at the end of the 19th century, the distillery got off to a rocky start, coinciding with a slump in the market brought about by the infamous ‘Pattison crash’. It wasn’t until 1906 that things got back on track, but since then it’s all been smooth sailing.
With most of the output earmarked for blending, Glen Elgin isn’t exactly a household name in the world of single malts, with official releases few and far between. Thankfully, there are plenty of great independent releases that allow enthusiasts the chance to discover this excellent distillery in its purest form.
