Glen Elgin has deep roots in three distilleries connected to White Horse Blended Whisky. First is Lagavulin, inherited by the brand's creator Peter Mackie from his father. Second is Craigellachie, built by Mackie in 1891 to supply malt whisky for White Horse. Third is Glen Elgin itself, owned not by the Mackie family but by DCL, which acquired White Horse Distillers in 1927. Since the 1890s, single malt whisky from these three distilleries formed the base of White Horse, one of the world's best-selling whiskies in the first half of the 20th century. Though now ranked 15th in whisky sales, White Horse remains the most popular Scotch whisky in some regions, selling 19 million bottles in 2018. Although Glen Elgin wasn't included in Diageo's 1988 Classic Malts series, it has been sold as a single malt since 1977. Respected by blenders and recognized for its consumer sales potential, it briefly appeared in the Flora & Fauna series. In 2002, Diageo gave four brands increased focus—Glen Elgin, Caol Ila, Clynelish, and Glen Ord—launching the Hidden Malts series. While Hidden Malts sold for several years, Glen Ord has since joined The Singleton family, while the other three now appear in the expanded Classic Malts series. Since 2001, Glen Elgin Distillery has operated with one 8.4-ton Steinecker full-lauter mash tun, nine larch washbacks (two replaced in 2018), and six small stills. The distillery runs 12-16 mashes weekly. The stills are connected to six wooden worm tub condensers. In 2019, the distillery operated five days per week, producing 1.8 million liters of new make spirit annually. The sole official bottling is Glen Elgin 12 Year Old. In 2017, Glen Elgin released an 18-year-old expression for the Special Releases series, matured in bodega European oak sherry casks.

Just poured a dram and got a whiff of freshly malted barley, light gold in the glass. First sip is soft grasses and a hint of leafier notes, then ripe green apples and a touch of lemon jelly. Sweet but not overpowering, with a little gooseberry compote and sultana lurking in the background. Finishes easy, dried apple rings and a whisper of shortbread, leaving a pleasant, simple charm. 🍏

Well, the first sniff is like walking into a sweet shop – vanilla tablet and golden syrup right away. It’s a light gold colour in the glass, really pretty. Soft grasses and a bit of cereal come through, like a fresh meadow. Very gentle and easy to drink, honestly it’s hard to find fault with. On the tongue, there’s malty warmth and a lovely leafy note, maybe like fresh herbs. It doesn’t have a huge amount to say, but what it does say is nice. Think of lemon jelly and elderflower cordial, that sort of gentle floral citrus. The fruitiness is there – gooseberry, pear, some dried apple rings and even a hint of apple tart tatin. There’s a touch of soda bread and shortbread too, which is comforting. It’s rather lemony overall, like lemon barley water on a warm day. Humbled and simple, but in a good way. The honeys and that lush fruitiness come out more with a drop of water. Finishes with green tea and a bit of star fruit, crystalised garden fruits and sultana. Goes down easy, a really lovely dram. 🥃

Oh this one's rather lovely ☀️ Pale gold in the glass, smells like walking past a bakery with the door open – warm apple tatin, those custard cream biscuits, and a hint of floral cordial. First sip is gentle, easy. Got that lemon barley water thing, like a fancy lemonade, with some soft honeydew melon and white grape in there. Feels light but not thin, you know? Then it opens up a bit more – there's this lovely baked pear and a bit of spiced golden syrup. Finish is nice and long, with a little whisper of soft tobacco and something like dried apricot. Honestly just a really friendly, approachable dram. Perfect for a sunny afternoon.

First sip, it's a bit sharp, like, but then mellows out with some honey sweetness. 😊 The finish is long and warming, with a touch of spice. Loving the creamy texture, too. Realy nice drop. 🥃

Right, just poured a wee dram of this tonight 🥃. Colour is proper gold, looks inviting in the glass. Nose hits you with honey and vanila 🍯. Taste is smoth, no burn whatsoever. Warmth spreads in the chest, real cozy feeling. Bit of oak spice kicks in later 🪵. Finish lingers abit, quite pleasant. Definatly one for the cold evenings. Cheers mates! 🍻
