Distillery Info
Situated in the picturesque heart of Speyside’s rolling hills, Glen Elgin is a modest-sized distillery.
The water used in its production is sourced from the pristine springs of Millbuies Loch, located just southeast of the distillery.
This distinctive configuration is a defining feature of the distillery. It remains one of the few distilleries to continue using traditional copper worms for cooling alcohol vapors. Glen Elgin’s whisky boasts a fruity, fragrant, and malty character, accompanied by a smooth and gentle texture.
