Glen Elgin 14 Year Old 2008 Wilson&Morgan 57.3% 70cl 43.2Glen Elgin 14 Year Old 2008 Oloroso Finish Wilson & Morgan 57. 3% A rich, expressive single cask from classic Speyside distillery Glen Elgin. This one started life in a refill butt, before enjoying a two year finishing period in first fill Oloroso. Theres an array of fruit, coffee and mineral tones in with the traditional sherry influence, making this a dram to be savoured. Just 629 bottles have been released so theres some urgency to this one.

A highly regard small batch Bourbon from Kentucky

El Laguito factory

honeysuckle and marzipan all emerge from the glass

with a touch of almond paste and digestive biscuits

open the palate

some stone fruits and a touch of sweet floral tones

some smoke builds a delicious note towards the palate

plus coconut

The maceration production process — the same as that used for grapes

The cask is really playing its part on the mid palate with sweet oak and soft baked apple and pear tarts

ginger and salted farmhouse butter

some sweet nutty flavours sit rather nicely with orange blossom and soft mint
