Glen Elgin Distillery nestles quietly in the heart of Speyside. Situated approximately 3 miles south of Elgin on the road to Rothes, it was the last distillery to be built during the boom years of the 1890s. The architect, Charles Doig, stated it would be the last one built in Speyside for 50 years. His prediction was remarkably accurate with Tormore being the next distillery built, in 1958.

Glen Elgin malt whisky has long been an integral part of the famous White Horse blend. Introduced to the market in 1890, the blend now sells 12 million bottles a year. The main consumers are Japan, Brazil, Africa and the USA.

The only regular bottling is Glen Elgin 12 y.o., but recently, more matured whiskies (up to 32 years old) have been produced in limited batches.
