Glen Elgin 23 (1995) The Whisky Agency

Review by: Raygun This Glen Elgin was bottled by the German IB The Whisky Agency for the Taichung Whisky Society. Seems like a split cask, because there’s another bottling with the exact same specs but a different label. 88 bottles would be a very short hogshead, so a split cask makes more sense. The Whisky Agency has a good reputation, but tends to be expensive and I haven’t tried too many.…

Glen Elgin Duo

A slightly different format, here. In this case, I’m reviewing two distinct expressions hailing from Diageo’s hidden Speyside gem, Glen Elgin–the proprietary 12 year old, which is regularly available in the UK, and a one-off single cask from indie bottler Alistair Walker. Glen Elgin was founded in 1898 by a pair of bankers, William Simpson and James Carle; it began production 2 years later in…

Glen Elgin 16 Jahre, 58,5%

Glen Elgin 16 Jahre, 58,5%

Dieser Glen Elgin war ein echter Blindkauf, den ich auf unzählige Empfehlungen in diversen Foren und Facebook-Gruppen hin gemacht habe. Über ein Jahr hat es schließlich gedauert, bis ich eine Flasche dieser limitierten Originalabfüllung zu einem noch anständigen Preis ergattern konnte. Von Glen Elgin gibt es nur wenige Originalabfüllungen, das allermeiste landet in Blend-Whiskys oder in Flaschen…

Glen Elgin 2008, Amarone-Finish 46%

Glen Elgin 2008, Amarone-Finish 46%

  Whiskys aus einem Amarone-Fass landen bei mir automatisch in der Einkaufstüte – mein ganz persönlicher Pawlow’scher Reflex. Amarone ist ein äußerst delikater, kräftiger und voluminöser trockener Rotwein, der aufwendig hergestellt wird und leider entsprechend teuer ist. Dieser Glen Elgin erscheint als Eigenabfüllung für das Bonner Pfeifen- & Cigarrenhaus in Kooperation mit einem Koblenzer…
