Description
A Glenburgie of a 12 year old chosen by A.D. Rattray, distilled in 2008, from cask 800353, at 57.4%, one of 274 bottles. Glenburgie is a Speyside single malt, a blending malt rarely seen on its own and largely the work of independents. The old distillery was demolished and rebuilt in 2004, only the little stone office left standing. It was rebuilt in 1881 by Charles Chree Doig, the architect behind so many Speyside stillhouses. It has belonged to Chivas Brothers, part of Pernod Ricard, since 2005. Its make has long fed big blends like Old Smuggler down the decades.
Distilled from unpeated malt, building a light malt of orchard fruit and fresh grass. It rested in ex-Bourbon oak, oak lactones lending a creamy vanilla. Through integration spirit and wood marry, vanillin rounding out as esters lend a riper apple, pear and a soft honey. The spirit deepens with time, the cask drawing out a soft beeswax.
At its natural 57.4% it is full and fruity. Pear, floral notes and a soft, waxy sweetness, lifted by a soft oak. Pear, grass and a creamy oak fill the middle. The finish runs delicate, fruity and waxy. This is a fresh, fruity Speyside single malt.
