Glen Elgin Aged 12 Years Single Malt Scotch Whisky Batch 5 – That Boutique-Y Whisky Company (500ml)

Volume: 500ml          ABV: 49.1%          Age: 12 Years Old          Country: Scotland

That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.

Glen Elgin was one of the last distilleries to be built in the 19th Century, but the infamous marble smuggler Lord Elgin, pictured alongside his magnificent white steed on this label, wouldn’t have known the distillery during his lifetime as he died some 57 years before it was founded. His horse, however, went on to build a distillery named after his master, as well as produce his own legendary label of Blended Scotch Whisky. Such a clever wee horse (this may not be an accurate statement). Batch 5 is a release of 1830 bottles at 49.1% ABV.
