The Rare & Exclusive label is reserved strictly for Whisky that deserves it. Only the oldest, and most decadent of whiskies from Cask Masters are released under this label, including highly aged spirit from some of Scotland's most prestigious distilleries.
It's not every day we get to taste a 50 Year Old Single Malt. It's even less often that we get to taste a Whisky that is over half a century old, under a 5 figure price tag.
This Glenburgie is amongst some of the oldest ever bottled, aged for an impressive length in a single American Oak Hogshead. At 40.5%, this was at the absolute peak of its age when it was bottled, capturing a delicateness and depth of flavour that is rare to see.
If you are looking for a truely exceptional Single Malt, this one blew us away. With a colour reminiscent of burnt umbre and honey, and such complex flavours, this is a once in a decade dram.
On the nose: Old, leather furniture with a faint dustiness. With a few minutes in the glass, tobacco and blended black & herbal teas, deepening substantially to honey apples and cinnamon.
On the palate: Generous. Oak tannins part for regal, softened citrus, an aged complexity and dryness that lingers on the palate. There is nothing that compares to a 50+ YO Single Malt. Beautiful.
Finish: Soft, elegant, lingering for a while before tempting you for another glass.
