product Details

Glen Elgin 12 Year Old

Glen Elgin was built in at the very end of the 19th century, with distilling commencing in 1900. Its success was sporadic in the early days, but it eventually joined DCL in 1930 as part of their White Horse Distillers arm. Unusually, the distillery had no electricity until 1950, and was entirely powered by paraffin until then. Although a key component in their blends, the fruity character of Glen Elgin was deemed worthy of being bottled as a single malt too, appearing as a 12 year old under White Horse branding from as early as the 1970s. Today this 12 year old remains the only permanent release.

Having very briefly been part of the Flora & Fauna stable after Diageo introduced a 12 year old expression in 2001, the distillery's own single malt brand was launched in 2002 when it was included alongside Clynelish and Caol Ila in the Hidden Malts selection. A move that saw the existing Flora & Fauna expression repackaged as this product.
