Single Malt

This single malt Scotch from Glenburgie was distilled in 2008 and matured for the next 16 years. The whisky was finished in a marsala wine cask before it was bottled by Berry Bros. & Rudd for the Glens & Valleys collection. A release of 260 bottles.
Stewed peaches and apricots lead the charge on the nose of this delightful whisky, with a rich undercurrent of dried fruits and butterscotch.
After this initial impression, the Marsala cask's influence radiantly shines through, with dates, prunes, and crème brûlée apparent.
The finish is elegantly long, with a sweetness reminiscent of caramelised nuts and dried roses.
