1995 LMDW Artist #9 Glenburgie 20 Year Old Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Cask #1 was filled in 1995 and bottled in 2019 following a finishing in a single sherry butt, so it's actually well over twenty years old. We have a fraction of the yield of 688 bottles. Like Glentauchers and Miltonduff, Glenburgie’s history has always been closely linked to that of Ballantines, as its single malt is a key component in the famous blended scotch. In 2003, the distillery was completely rebuilt, and in 2005 it was bought by Pernod Ricard. According to LMDW, this one reveals not only a sensation of maturity and fullness but also lots of freshness and vivacity, which is the perfect combination for fully mature whisky. European exclusive.

Notes from the bottlers... the deep initial nose is floral (reseda), fruity (orange) and jammy (marmalade). Allowed to breathe, it becomes spicy and then intensely malty and chocolatey. Candied mango brings lots of exoticism to the aromatic palette. The clean attack is honeyed (acacia), fruity (Mirabelle plum) and vanilla. The liquorice mid-palate develops with vanilla pod and aromatic plants (bay leaf). The well-balanced finish is a perfect summary of the nose and palate. Incredibly natural, it gradually becomes increasingly malty. 54% Alc./Vol.
