Description
A 20 year old Glenburgie from La Maison du Whisky, distilled in 1995, from cask 1, at 54%, one of 688 bottles. Glenburgie is a Speyside single malt from near Alves, founded in 1810 as Kilnflat. 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. Most of its make goes quietly to blends; single malt Glenburgie is rare, and largely from independents.
It was distilled in tall onion shaped pot stills, for a soft, fruity spirit with a waxy thread. An Oloroso cask held it, drawing the light spirit on over the years. Into oxidative maturity, slow air builds ripe esters of apple and a light tropical note over a waxy depth. Years in oak deepen the spirit to old gold, the body growing rounder and waxier with time. First fill wood drives the maturation, the cask clear in the spirit.
At a hearty 54% it carries real weight. Apple, pear and fresh cut grass, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. A light orchard fruit and a soft spice give it shape. A fresh finish closes on apple and a soft oak. This is a fresh, fruity Speyside single malt.
