This Speyside malt is renowned for its characteristic fruity sweetness and distinct nuttiness, qualities that are beautifully complemented by a refined Moscatel finish. The whisky presents a complex profile with rich layers of dried fruits, honeyed nuts, and a delicate floral aroma. These elements combine to create a compelling and harmonious flavour experience that will appeal t even the most sophisticated palate.
Glen Elgin Distillery
When architect Charles Doig built Glen Elgin in 1898 he predicted that it would be last distillery built in the area for at least 50 years. He was proven right Tormore, built in 1958, was the first distillery to be built in the area after Glen Elgin. The distillery started production in 1900 but closed down soon after. When the distillery was sold in 1901 it went for £4000, making a net loss of £9000. It wasn't only the Pattison crisis that hindered the success of Glen Elgin, other factors like water shortages and a refused railway siding also contributed to its difficulties.
