Glenburgie Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask #12524 Whisky 31 Year Old · 1990 Vintage
In stock
Distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2021 at 52.9% ABV, this 31-year-old Glenburgie was released by Gordon & MacPhail as part of the Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength series. Matured in a first fill sherry butt (cask #12524), the cask yielded 482 bottles, showcasing the distillery’s spirit after more than three decades of maturation.
Glenburgie Distillery, founded in 1829 near Forres in Speyside, produces a light and fruity spirit that is most commonly used in blends, particularly Ballantine’s. Independent bottlings such as this offer a rare opportunity to experience Glenburgie as a single malt, where its orchard fruit character can fully develop alongside the influence of long sherry cask maturation.
