Glen Elgin 14 Year Old was selected by Archives for its Fishes of Samoa series. It was distilled on 31 January 2011 and bottled on 13 March 2025 at 56.1%, in a limited run of 226 bottles.
The whisky matured in a first fill bourbon barrel, number 800662, and has an oily texture with a peppery spice.
The nose has honey-coated fruit, ripe yellow apple and fresh apricot, with a little lemon and a hint of pineapple, plus buttered vanilla cake, slightly dusty wood and a touch of mint. The palate is creamy and oily, with vanilla, honey, apple and apricot and a bitter lemon zest. The finish is medium in length, returning to bitter citrus, pepper and dry wood.
