The distillers here use traditional wooden worm tub condensers to cool their spirit. This old-school technique, combined with unusually long fermentation times, creates a whisky with a remarkably rich, weighty texture that coats the mouth beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eWhen you pour a dram of \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"24\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eGlen Elgin single malt\u003c\/b\u003e, you are greeted with incredibly vibrant, sweet aromas. Expect a rush of honey, zesty tangerine, and a character that is often likened to a liquid fruitcake.
