Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: vanilla pods, fresh flowers and citrus flavoured Starburst Fruit Candies; Strawberry Twizzlers and peach eau de vie; heather honey and soft toasted oak; cashews and macadamia nuts; perfumed.
Palate: soft, floral and toasty with some silky vanillans and juicy malted barley tones; vanilla extract, crisp toasted oak and more nutty tones: cashews, macadamia nuts and marcona almonds; waxy; Strawberry Twizzlers, Starburst Fruit Candies and quince paste; very honeyed with white chocolate.
Finish: long, soft, floral and juicy; creamy, elegant, waxy and decadent.
Comment: this is a very creamy, waxy and floral malt; honeyed with loads of vanilla, juicy barley and elegant floral tones; Glen Elgin is typically a very pretty malt, and this is no exception!
