Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: classic Glen Elgin, soft, floral and elegant; delicate vanilla, dried apricots, midori melon, orange piths and pickle juice; doughy and flaky; Mille Feuille (Napoleon Pastry); powdered sugar and whipped cream on Belgian waffles.
Palate: creamy and very honeyed with bags and bags of fruit; vanilla bean, more whipped cream and powdered sugar; loads of flaky and doughy pastry; more melons: midori, cantaloupe and honeydew; dried apricots, baked Granny Smith apples and poached pears; a touch tart, more pickle brine? perfumed and waxy.
Finish: medium long in length, still soft, floral and fruity; elegant and beautiful.
Comment: this is a lovely single cask of Glen Elgin; it is easy to see why this is one of John Glaser's muses; this is an elegant and complex single malt; trop fruits would have pushed this in to brilliant territory, still it is lovely!
