1995 Acorn's Glen Elgin 22 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

As the major part of production continues to be used in the White Horse blends, it was only relatively recently that Glen Elgin became available as a single malt. The house style remains mellow and sweetly honeyed and only found as a standard issue 12 year old, excepting the odd indie bottling. This one's from the Japanese 'Acorn' company. Distilled 1995 and bottled 2018.

Tasting note: [Cask #3218 tasted]. Bright gold. Floral soft bouquet , bursting with sweet fruit (caramelised pineapple, peach and pear). Air contact accents a peppery nose feel, along with cocoa, vanilla and cream tea biscuits. Concentrated. Lots of beeswax and stewed orchard fruitiness - almost like some Clynelish. Warming alcohol, finishing with ripe apple, pear drops and vanilla. Crisp and invigorating. 50.8% Alc./Vol.
