Glenburgie 21 Year Old Distillery Labels Gordon & MacPhail / unpackaged / 43% / 0.7l
- Gordon & MacPhail, established 1895, is the Scottish most recognizable independent whisky bottler.
Product description
Gordon & MacPhail was founded in 1895 and is now perhaps the most recognisable independent whisky publisher.
It has thousands of barrels of distillate in its warehouses and, as early as the 1950s, it distributed single malts under agreements signed with distilleries in a series of Distillery Labels created for this purpose. Glenburgie is one of the few distilleries that still authorize Gordon & MacPhail to bottle and distribute its whisky. The edition presented here contains whisky matured for over two decades in refilled sherry butts. Glenburgie single malt is one of the key components of Ballantine's blends.
Nose: mild, slightly floral, brown sugar, vanilla, honey, raisins, plums, hazelnuts, notes of hay and oak.
Taste: fruity, apples, pears, plums, dates, oranges, toffee, honey, cinnamon, cloves, lemongrass, traces of pepper and mint.
Finish: quite long, with notes of summer berries, toasted oak, a hint of cinnamon and dried herbs.
