Single Cask Nation Glen Elgin 18

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Single Cask Nation/Jewish Whisky Company

ABV: 54.9%

Score: 86 Points

Cask #1661 was a refill ex-Bourbon hogshead cask that matured for 18 years until Single Cask Nation bottled it in 2014.

The nose is aromatic with mild spices, hints of coconut, vanilla, and honey in good balance. The taste is spicy, smoky, and intense with chili powder, chipotle, allspice, and clove notes that stick to the tongue, fading slowly through the finish with subtle hints of vanilla and honey in the background.
