Glen Elgin Distillery

The Glen Elgin Dis­tillery is sit­u­ated 10 miles south of where the river Lossie exits to the sea and about 40 miles east of Inverness.

Founded at the end of the whisky boom in 1898, it was built and designed by the notable dis­tillery archi­tect Charles Doig of Elgin.

The Whisky

The Glen Elgin 12 year old has a pos­i­tive, aro­matic and a whiff of smoke, with notes of almonds, or marzipan.

This whisky is one of the six Clas­sic Malts in the New Col­lec­tion of Clas­sic Sin­gle Malts, replac­ing Crag­gan­more as the Spey­side representative.
