Our take on the Eilan Gillan Single Malt Scotch

Eilan Gillan is a single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 43% ABV, a touch above the 40% that many entry-level single malts use. The higher strength usually carries more body and aroma, but the brand gives no age statement, so the whisky is a blend of casks rather than a dated expression. No current store price was provided, so check the price history on this page before buying.

Pros

43% ABV gives more flavor and body than 40% bottlings
Single malt, so it comes from one distillery's malted barley
No age statement keeps the price lower than dated single malts
Works neat, with water, or in cocktails

Cons

No age statement, so you can't judge maturity from the label

Questions and answers

Is Eilan Gillan Single Malt Scotch worth buying?: It depends on the price. At a fair entry-level single malt price, 43% ABV and single malt status make it a reasonable buy. Compare it with dated single malts in the same range before deciding.
What does 43% ABV mean for the taste?: It is stronger than the 40% standard, so expect more aroma and a fuller mouthfeel. Add a few drops of water if it feels hot.
Does it have an age statement?: No. The label says single malt but gives no age, so it is a mix of casks rather than a dated bottling.
How should I drink it?: Neat or with a splash of water to open it up. It also works in a highball or whisky sour because 43% holds its flavor against mixers.
When is the best time to buy it?: Watch the price history on this page. Scotch prices move with promotions and gift seasons, so buy when the current price sits near the low end of its recent range.
