Glen Elgin, a 12-year-old Single Malt Whisky from the Diageo Malt Whisky Range, is renowned for its honey-sweet character, often described as fruitcake in a bottle. Its complex flavours are a result of its pot stills and the distillery’s handcrafted approach to whisky making. Glen Elgin is full-bodied yet smooth, with hints of fruity sherry, figs, and fragrant spices.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 43% abv.
