The 100 Proof range includes the Exceptional Cask sub-range, which brings together bottlings aged 15 years or more. This is a 15-year-old Glenburgie, aged in first-fill Oloroso Sherry Butts. The number of bottles produced is not known, and unlike the regular range, the bottles are not numbered.
Let's Taste It :
Fresh iodine, icing sugar, ethereal vanilla. Zesty mirabelle plum, young leather, sultanas. Citrus fruits give a lovely fullness, between lemon and grapefruit. Egg yolk and nougat, hay, fine white fruits. Well-balanced on the palate, still citrusy, quite powerful spices, cumin, black pepper. Banana. The finish is long, with just the right amount of violence, langue de chat biscuits, peanut butter, soufflé. A few drops of lemon. Whipped eggs. Custard.
In Short,
It's slightly better than the regular 100 Proof range, but not exceptional either. I find that the price is no longer as advantageous; it's considerably more expensive for being only slightly better. Perhaps Glenburgie fans will be happy with it.
Score : 88
