Sophisticated Speysider from the little-known Glen Elgin distillery. Vanilla-toffee sweetness and a splendid fruit salad on the nose, joined by butter, wood and spice on the tongue. This 18-year-old whisky is made by combining whisky matured in two types of casks: sherry-style butts and refill European oak. A balanced and enticing dram. This whisky was made in experimental fashion and some of the spirit was distilled using a yeast more commonly found in the production of millet beer. Read more.

Description
Although founded at the end of the whisky boom in 1898, Glen Elgin did not actually start production until 1900 when the building designed by the distillery architect Charles Doig of Elgin was finally completed. It then managed to change hands a couple times before achieving any notable success. The distillery today still lies close to mouth of the River Lossie.
Tasting Notes
Nut brittle and a touch of oaky smoke.

Rob Roy Cocktail Recipe
If there was ever a cocktail to make you feel the glitz and glamour of the history and chic society of New York, it's ordering a Rob Roy Cocktail. This 19th century cocktail is believed to have been created at New York City’s Waldorf Hotel (if you want to visit today, you can head to the Waldorf Astoria). But who is Rob Roy? The cocktail is named not after the Scottish folk hero and outlaw Robert Roy MacGregor, but after the Broadway show that was showing at the time. The Rob Roy is a riff on a Manhattan, with their only difference being the base liquor. A Rob Roy is made using blended Scotch Whisky while a Manhattan is made with Rye Whisky. As such, the cocktail is malty and smooth, with a bit of spice on the finishing end.
