Glenburgie Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 28 years 1995
Speyside, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
| Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
| Origin: | United Kingdom / Highland-Speyside |
Description
The history of Glenburgie stretches back to 1810 when it was founded as the Kinflat Distillery. It has since been owned by several owners until it was completely renovated in 2004. Most of the whisky distilled at Glenburgie is for blends, so it is a rarity when a Glenburgie gets into the hands of an independent bottler. This whisky was distilled in 1995 and aged patiently for 28 years in a refill hogshead, probably the best vessel for such long, slow maturation. Notes of artisan strawberry jam, lemon blossom, fruit salad and mint fill the nose. The palate shows flavours of strawberries, lime, brown sugar, cream and cigar box and is completed with a finish of gingery, fruity-sweet, whisky soaked hessian bung cloth.

Highland-Speyside
Speyside: Das Herz der Whisky-Kultur
Geografisch gesehen ist die Speyside ein kleiner, nordöstlich gelegener Teilbereich der Highlands. Doch das Hügelland zwischen den Städten Inverness und Aberdeen, durch welches das Flüsschen Spy fliesst, das der Region ihren Namen gibt, ist das Herz und der Nabel der schottischen Whisky-Herstellung und Single Malt-Kultur. Nicht weniger als 50 der insgesamt 108 schottischen Destillerien sind hier beheimatet. Die Speyside-Malts bestechen mit ihrer Komplexität und Eleganz.
