Single Malt
Scotland

1 Jan 2015
An 8 year old Glenburgie single malt, bottled by Langside for the Hepburn's Choice range. It was distilled in 2007 and filled into a single refill bourbon barrel, then left to age until 2015. 348 bottles were produced, presented at 46% ABV.
Honey'd barley, nutmeg, white pepper. Touches of candied fruit.
Fresh orchard fruits with a drizzle of honey, vanilla starts to develop later on.
Orange and lemon peels.
Thin, peppery, sour, barely drinkable
I was looking forward to trying a dram of this as some of the bottlings of Glenburgie from G&M amongst others have been very good from this rather underrated distillery. However this was a disappointment! Although zesty with some fruit it was also very spirity and peppery. It may be that Glenburgie needs more time to mature or that this was just a poor cask. But whatever the reason this is not one to savour or remember fondly. Pity!
