Glenburgie 24 Years Old

Tasting Notes

Nose
Full bodied and delightfully sweet - this gives notes of baked bananas, dark chocolate cherries, fresh jackfruit and milk chocolate raisins. These aromas are supported by a stable base of orange pith, wholemeal toast and lavender.

Palate
Plum tatin and fruited hot caramel. Melba toast enrobed in damson jam and thick-cut marmalade. Sauternes and spicy ginger beer. A waxy edge adds yet more complexity.

Finish
Candied walnuts with a square of 90% dark chocolate and slightly waxy citrus rind. Soft leather and pecan pie fight for the final word.

Dendrological Engineering – Coopering

An essential part of the coopering process, cask firing is arguably the most spectacularly dramatic part of the whisky making process. The incredible intensity of the flames captured by Ralph Steadman in his arresting illustration mirrors the intense richness and unrelentingly long finish of this hand-selected cask.
