Distiller's Art Glenburgie 16 Year

This item is archived.

A new single cask Glenburgie distilled in 1997 and bottled at 16 years of age from a sherry butt under the Distiller's Art label, a subsidiary of Hunter Laing Whisky. Only a 42 bottles are coming to Alberta, and we are expecting not much more than 12 bottles at KWM.

Andrew's Tasting Note

Nose: waxy and sherried, leather and dried dark fruits; dark bakers chocolate and cloves in honey baked ham.

Palate: big and thick, still waxy, creamy and leathery with loads of dried dark fruit, dark bakers chocolate and cigar tobacco; earthy, dunnage warehouse notes and building spices: more cloves puled from honey baked ham, candied fennel and Dutch licorice.

Finish: very long, coating and leathery; spices, dark fruits and tobacco; leaves the mouth drying and tingling.

Comment: you don't see Glenburgie very often so if you are looking to have at least one on the bar, you'd be hard pressed to do better than this!

Distiller's Tasting Note
