GLENBURGIE 15 ans 2008 1st fill Oloroso Sherry Butts Signatory Vintage

Founded in 1829 (1810 according to some sources), the Glenburgie distillery has always been associated with the Ballantine's blend and the Allied Domecq company. Glenburgie is unusual in that, from 1958, it housed two Lomond stills, which were rarely used in the industry. These were replaced by traditional pot stills in 1981. Another important fact is that its malt can also be found under the name Glencraig, in homage to William Craig, a former Ballantine's production manager.

This Glenburgie, distilled in 2008, was aged for 15 years in first-fill oloroso sherry casks before being bottled at 57.10%. This Speyside single malt has a long, indulgent profile with aromas of roasted hazelnuts, nougat and honey.

Made from a selection of casks with older age counts and still very marked sherry, the ‘100 proof exceptional’ range refers to the British system of measuring alcohol content, which corresponds to the famous ‘Navy Strength’. At 57.1% proof, this range highlights various distilleries, which express themselves with great intensity while retaining the aromatic richness typical of Signatory Vintage's ageing expertise. A range to take your tasting further and rediscover the ageing work of this independent bottler.
