About this bottle
This Glen Elgin-Glenlivet 13 Year Old is an independent single malt bottling from Wm Cadenhead's, distilled in 2009 at the Glen Elgin distillery in Speyside and finished in a Manzanilla sherry cask before bottling in 2023. Cadenhead is one of Scotland's oldest independent bottlers, sourcing single casks directly from working distilleries rather than shaping them to a house style. Bottled at 46% ABV, it carries Glen Elgin's typically soft, floral Speyside character alongside the dry, saline edge the Manzanilla cask adds, with orchard fruit and honey on the nose, a light nutty dryness on the palate, and a clean, slightly briny finish. It suits a Speyside drinker looking past the big-name distillery bottlings.
How to drink Cadenhead Glen Elgin-Glenlivet 13 Year Old
Pour it neat in a tulip glass to taste what the Manzanilla cask actually did to the spirit, adding a few drops of water if the alcohol reads a little hot at first. It's built for sipping rather than mixing — save it for a quiet dram, not a cocktail.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve a single malt like this?
Neat or with a few drops of water, in a tulip-shaped glass, which concentrates the aroma better than a rocks glass. Skip the ice if you want the full cask character to show.
What makes this an 'independent bottling'?
Cadenhead's buys casks directly from distilleries like Glen Elgin and bottles them under its own label rather than the distillery's, typically un-chill-filtered and without added color.
What cask was this Glen Elgin finished in?
This 13-year-old, distilled in 2009, spent time in a Manzanilla sherry cask before bottling in 2023, adding a dry, saline note to Glen Elgin's naturally soft Speyside profile.
