Glen Elgin Connoisseurs Choice 20 Year Old, First Fill Sherry Butt Cask, Cask #18/003, 1997, Gordon & MacPhail, 55.7%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

I like how the crisp green apple and ripe cherry sit alongside toasted walnut, with orange and oak carrying into the finish. The notes give a clear picture of a fruit-led whisky with a drier edge, which sounds appealing to me.

Nose
Vanilla opens into forest fruit, stewed raisins, tangerine peel and toffee apple; touches of charred oak develop with time.
Palate
Gentle creaminess leads into warm, drying menthol freshness, with subtle cinnamon, crisp green apple, ripe cherry and toasted walnut.
Finish
Long and slightly drying, with orange and oak highlights.
