Glen Elgin 1984 Thosop  27 Year Old / The Whiskyman

A rare and unusual bottling of Glen Elgin, distilled in 1984 and bottled by Thosop BVBA in Belgium. 

Distributed by The Whiskyman. 

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, with occasional sought after independent releases appearing from around this time onwards as well.
