Mid-1970s, White Horse Distillers Ltd. Glen Elgin 12 Year Old, 750ml, 43% #150

This bottle is a 12-year-old single malt from Speyside's prestigious Glen Elgin distillery, distributed in the 1970s, the golden age of Scotch whisky. Nowadays, single malts from this era play a central role in blended whisky, so they are an extremely valuable heritage that conveys the craftsmanship of the time.

This product was released by White Horse Distillers Ltd., the original supplier of White Horse whiskey at the time. The top center of the label proudly displays Her Majesty the Queen's Royal Warrant, a mark of quality, and the iconic White Horse emblem.

The neck label clearly displays the "Special Grade Whisky" and "Ad Valuable" marks, certifying that it was an official import product to Japan at the time. The back label lists the name of the official distributor at the time, "Jardine Matheson & Company (Japan) Limited," and its address in Nishi-Shinbashi, Minato Ward (Nippon Oil Main Building). The volume is 760ml**, the standard size at the time, and the alcohol content is 43%.

Located in the heart of Speyside, the Glen Elgin distillery stubbornly adheres to traditional methods. This vintage bottle features a richer, creamier taste than the current product. The fruity aroma of pear and apple is exquisitely layered with the sweetness of vanilla from the aging casks. The palate is surprisingly mellow, with a delicate malt aroma and soft smoke that lingers pleasantly on the finish.

This is a superb bottle that allows you to enjoy the highest quality single malt from an era when it was overshadowed by blended whiskeys. It comes with its rare original box and is in excellent condition, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
