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.

刚倒出来就闻到塞维利亚橙子皮和果酱的香气,混合着一点烤坚果味。第一口有点冲,像黑咖啡那种苦劲儿,但后面马上涌上Jaffa蛋糕的甜味,很有趣。 喝下去喉咙暖暖的,有种说不出的踏实感,像挖花园泥土时闻到的那种潮湿又生机勃勃的气息。回味特别长,嘴里留着核桃蛋糕和一点烟草味,偶尔还能感觉到舌尖微微发麻,有点像吃了花椒但完全不讨厌。 整体感觉很扎实,不像有些年轻威士忌喝起来空空的。最后那一丝苦味反而让整杯酒更有层次了,喝着喝着就停不下来……😉

刚倒了一杯,闻起来就很有意思。先是浓咖啡和意式浓缩的香气,然后飘出一点塞维利亚橙皮的味道。 喝起来居然有点花椒的麻感,挺微妙的,不讨厌。 慢慢回味有点雅法蛋糕的甜,和果酱的柑橘调混在一起。最后那股苦味收尾很漂亮,一点也不刺激,反而很舒服。 有些年轻的酒总觉得缺点东西,这杯就不会。三十个月的桶陈好像让它更完整了,各种味道很和谐。 喝着喝着就不由自主想再来一口,这种感觉还挺上头的。敬这杯酒!🍊

The first sip hit me with these lovely roasted pecans, almost like a fresh walnut cake out of the oven. Then it shifted—suddenly I was thinking of a strong espresso, dark and beautifully bitter, but with this surprising sweetness underneath, like bitter Seville oranges or maybe even a bit of old Armagnac. There’s something nutty and rich that reminds me of black nougat, and yeah, definitely some oloroso sherry vibes in there. Got a weird hint of pipe tobacco and garden soil after a minute, not in a bad way though. 😅 The finish? Long. Really long. A bit of that Szechuan pepper tingle, maybe some liquorice, and it just keeps going. Unstoppable, honestly. Like it doesn’t want to leave.

倒入杯中是饱满的金色,闻起来像刚切开的Jaffa蛋糕,裹着橘子酱的甜香。 喝一口,舌尖先跳过一丝花椒的麻,接着是老烟斗的醇厚…太奇妙了! 这酒有三十年陈酿的雅文邑那种复杂感,还有雪莉桶带来的烤山核桃香气,混着甘草和塞维利亚橙皮的微苦。 中段浓缩咖啡的焦香突然涌出来,简直停不下来。 余韵长得惊人,最后留在嘴里的是果酱的甜和烟草的暖,舒服极了 🥃

Hats off to this one! 🥃 First thing that hit me was a burst of Seville oranges, kinda like a bitter marmalade on toast... then it mellowed into coffee and black nougat, with a hint of Jaffa cakes weirdly. Gets a bit cheeky later, some liquorice and even a tingly Szechuan pepper kick that's almost annoying but in a fun way. Swear there's a whiff of garden soil after a while? Long finish though, lingering with nuts and chocolate. This thirty-month finishing really did something special. Incredibly good pour! 👏
