Glen Elgin 2007-2023 | 15 Year Old Infrequent Flyers | Single Cask 807411
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: The Alistair Walker Whisky Company 70cl / 55.4%
A single cask 15-year-old Glen Elgin 2007 bottled in 2023 without colouring or chill filtration by Alistair Walker Whisky Co. for their Infrequent Flyers series.
This 2007 Glen Elgin 15-year-old was finished in a hogshead cask 807411 that originally held delicious French sweet wine Sauternes, and yielded 262 bottles at a sturdy natural cask strength of 55.4%. The contrast between Glen Elgin's robust spirit and Sauternes' richly-flavoured, gossamer elegance should make this a fascinating and delicious dram.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Colour: Golden straw.
Nose: Sweet - brandy snaps and peanut brittle. Nutty and aldehydic - sugared almonds and pistachios.
Palate: Deep underlying honeycomb. Delivers those big orchard fruit notes that Sauternes has in its armoury - stewed apricots, raisins and apple strudel. Dusted with brown sugars, which should offer some satisfaction. An oasis of spices towards the end – pepper definitely; maybe cinnamon. Nicely poised.
