Tasting Notes
Glen Elgin 12 Year Old 2009 Syrah Edition is a captivating single malt that takes you on a delightful journey through a symphony of flavors. From the very first whiff, you're greeted with the enticing aromas of juicy pears and hearty barley, intertwined with hints of jammy pastries and warm spices. As you savor the liquid gold, flavors of stewed cherries, chocolate-coated raisins, and baked apples dance on your palate, seamlessly accompanied by a peppery heat that adds depth and complexity. The finish is a delightful interplay of honeyed plums, sweet barley, and fresh pear notes, lingering pleasantly with hints of drying oak and a gentle spice tingle. This exceptional whisky, distilled in 2009, has been meticulously matured for 12 years, including a finish in a first-fill Syrah (Shiraz) red wine barrel, imparting its unique character and depth. Truly a remarkable expression that showcases the artistry of the master blenders at Glen Elgin.
