Fable Whisky Chapter 7 'Piper' Glen Elgin 12 Year Old (56.4%)

Chapter 7 in the Fable Whisky series, named Piper, is a 12 year old Glen Elgin single malt from Speyside, bottled at 56.4%. It is a fruity malt with a floral touch. Glen Elgin is said to do well in American oak, where soft vanilla and hints of spice bring out the distillery's character. The nose is vanilla with cake and toasted oak. On the palate it is rich, with popcorn, brown sugar, almonds and spice. With a little water, pear and cardamom emerge alongside some pepper and anise. The finish is elegant, with crisp apple and sweet malt.
