Glenburgie 44-year-old (D.1975, B.2019) Old & Rare HL / 41.8% / 0.7l

On October 30, 2019, renowned whisky publisher Hunter Laing & Co. announced the release of the “Old & Rare Heritage Collection” series.

It consists of over twenty single cask editions, containing whiskey aged for no less than 30 years. Traditionally, Old & Rare offers whiskey bottled at cask strength, without chill filtration and without added coloring agents. The presentation of the Heritage Collection refers to the original appearance of the Old & Rare Platinum Selection, which debuted at the turn of the century - a dark green bottle, a modest label and an elegant wooden box.

Glenburgie 44 years old undoubtedly falls into the category of both “old” and “rare”. Distilled in 1975, it spent nearly four and a half decades in a cask, the contents of which translated into just 159 bottles of whisky at 41.8% abv.
(Producer’s note.)

"This old gold whisky has a rich and complex aroma of Christmas fruitcake, a spiced larder and Turkish delight. In the mouth, a fusion of fruity and floral notes, with mango flavours standing out, broken by a wonderful waxiness. Strong fruit notes romp in the infinitely long finish."
