GLENBURGIE 38 ans 1986 American Hogshead Connoisseurs Choice Upper Gordon & Macphail

This Glenburgie 1986 matured for 38 years in a Refill American Hogshead before being bottled at its natural strength of 57.90%. This Speyside single malt, with its long and fruity profile, reveals notes of apple, vanilla, and blueberry. Founded in 1810 near Forres in the Speyside region, the Glenburgie Distillery is renowned for its round, fruity style, typical of the area. Its single malt, often used in Ballantine’s blends, charms with notes of ripe apple, honey, and soft malt. Discreet yet essential, Glenburgie embodies the traditional Scottish craftsmanship, producing whiskies that are balanced, warm, and elegant. Created in 1968 by whisky visionary “Mr George” Urquhart, the Connoisseurs Choice range has featured more than 2,000 bottlings from around 100 Scottish distilleries. Each Connoisseurs Choice whisky tells its story through its label: cask type, bottling date, strength, vintage, and tasting notes. Always non-chill-filtered, these rare single cask and small batch expressions showcase Gordon & MacPhail’s unique expertise in matching spirit to oak casks — a skill handed down through four generations of the same family.
