Glenburgie Chieftain's Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1998 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery flashes and honey-hued undertones.

Nose

Glenburgie's delicate fruit and malt rise, paired with creamy vanilla and honeyed toffee. A sherried richness threads through—raisin, dried apricot, and cocoa nibs—while oak and gentle spice lend a zesty citrus lift and refined warmth.

Palate

Silky and fruit-forward, with pear and apple framed by honeyed vanilla and soft oak. Sherry influence yields dried fig, raisin and almond, wrapped in creamy texture and light spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering sweetness, nutty warmth, and subtle toffee.

Finish

Long, elegant finish with dark fruit, honeyed malt and sherry influence. Cocoa, warm spice (cinnamon, clove) and toasted oak linger, slowly fading to a refined sweetness that coats the palate with a subtle, nutty edge.
