Comments:
I have it on good authority that this is a Glen Elgin. It’s certainly a very pretty label of a swallow against a pink background. Swallows, of course, nest around Glen Elgin distillery.
The whisky is sweet, thick, spicy and eggy. There’s a metallic aftertaste, and even some iron filings notes on the nose. Not a bad start to an epic tasting.
Verdict:
I like this a lot.
