Glenburgie 19 YO Bottling Note
We love Glenburgie. It tastes like strawberry jam. There's plenty more going on in this tremendous 19 year old single cask bottling of ours though, distilled on 7th June 1995 and bottled 7th April 2015 (just a couple of months shy of its twentieth birthday). 151 bottles of wonderfully complex whisky were produced at natural cask strength. Glenburgie, of course, is one of the signature malts in the Ballantine's blends, the second best selling Scotch whiskies in the world.
"an irrepressible and irresistible high grade malt" - Jim Murray (93.5 Points)
Nose: Shortbread, shortbread and... strawberry jam! This continues with red apple and nutty nougat. Dig a little deeper for Honey-Nut Cheerios, thick caramel and a touch of cooked bell peppers.
Palate: Wonderfully rich and creamy, with lots of treacle, star-fruit, violet petals and yet more strawberry jam. Later on, there's some rather gorgeous notes of bonfire embers growing...
Finish: Pain au chocolat, more of that subtle bonfire, toasted almonds and dried coconut.
Overall: We were delighted when we got the sample for this one, and we think you'll like it too.
