Glen Elgin 13YO 2008 Reserve Cask (SMOS) Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml (ABV 48%)

Elixir Distillers is an independent bottler that released The Single Malts of Scotland range in 2002. This range consists of vintage single malt Scotch whiskies selected for their individual quality and character. Along with the classic single cask collection, the range includes the Director's Special series personally selected by Sukhinder Singh, as well as two small-batch collections: the accessible Reserve Casks and the more mature Marriage of Casks.

A small batch of eight hogsheads from Glen Elgin distillery were used to create this single malt, distilled in 2008 and aged for more than 13 years.

Nose - The nose is instantly reminiscent of a beautiful vanilla custard with orange blossom water delicately folded through. Lovely, ripe peach slices are placed on top with a generous drizzle of clover honey and dark chocolate shavings.

Palate - Juicy peach once again shines through, this time with creamy coconut flesh and a sprinkle of cinnamon and clove. Sweet lemon has been zested and the oils create a welcome freshness to the palate.

Finish - In the finish, the peach, honey and lemon combine with a black tea element that leaves you with the feeling of a refreshing iced peach tea on a summer’s day.
