About this bottle

A scotch whisky from Scotland, Glen Elgin 16 Year Old 2006 Single Cask (Private Label) is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 55.9% ABV, carrying a 16-year age statement, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Zesty, creamy notes of lemon posset and yellow plum. Buttery madeleines, flaked almond, and sweet key lime pie with a ginger snap base; on the palate: A glorious dollop of clotted cream counters fragrant green peppercorns, silky honey, and syrupy fruit suggestions of boiled sweeties. Peaches and cream; finish: Sweet shop notes linger with chalk candies and barley sugars. Things remain creamy with coatings of vanilla, and beneath, delicate woody spice hovers in perfect harmony.

Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

Wishlist haul

Saved three, bought three.

“A month of adding bottles to the Spirit Hives wishlist, then I checked out the three I kept opening. Sherried Speyside, a rye, a Rioja. All three matched the page.”
Matej N.Three bottles
Rare find

The bottle my town does not stock.

“Spirit Hives had the small-batch bourbon I had only ever seen on holiday. I ordered it on a Tuesday and it was on the table for Sunday. That is why I came back.”
Marcus T.Small-batch bourbon
Birthday gift

Quick to order. Worth the wait.

“Checkout at Spirit Hives took a minute. The bottle itself took a little longer than a supermarket run. I ordered ahead for my brother's birthday and it arrived in time.”
Derek C.Ordered in advance
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
