Limited Edition
Single Cask
Bottled in 2019
Unchillfiltered, Uncoloured, Cask Strength
Totally Unpeated
Cadenhead has not finished making a name for itself, thanks in part to this Single Cask collection, one of the most prestigious. This is a fine Glenburgie from the last century, very simply aged in a single Bourbon cask to bring out the purity of the distillate. All sold in 222 bottles.
Let's Taste It :
Black wheat. Peanut butter, maple syrup, vergeoise. Pine needles, freshly cut wood. Eucalyptus honey, and soon eucalyptus leaves. Peppermint, sage. Lemon, but well hidden. On the palate, honey, olive oil, it's really smooth. Then the spices rise, paprika, curry, nutmeg, cloves. The finish is very long, with honey and olives, woody notes, a pinch of cinnamon, hand cream and argan. This finish takes us to the other side. A few drops of lemon juice at the end.
In Short,
I was expecting an explosion of fruit, but that's not what happened. If the nose left me a little unimpressed, the palate on the other hand captivated me, very oily and silky, I felt like I was drinking olive oil, but very good. And it was the finish that won me over. Endless, not explosive but robust, it leaves you with a deep sense of well-being. Bottling completely sold out, don't expect to find it, it would be a miracle.
Score : 90
