From Glenburgie Distillery, this is a 12 year old that has spend 10 years in PX Sherry Hogsheads. Distilled in 2010 and bottled in 2022 with sister casks giving an outrun of 1418 bottles at 47.5% ABV. We don’t see a lot of Glenburgie the vast majority goes into Ballantynes blend with a short still run producing a heavy spirit really lends itself to sherry wood and this shows just how good it can be! Its full on Christmas cake and fudge on the nose, demerara sugar and sticky toffee pudding. 

WHAT A NOSE! The palate has a glorious spice to settle the sweetness and the finish is wonderfully long, lingering toffee, maple syrup, vanilla and a warm hug by the fire. Lovely!

If this all goes, there is an Oloroso 2010 available too.. 

Many people doubt that the sequal will ever live up to the first edition but here I feel like it takes proud steps forwards showing the superb character that the AD guys produce. Distilled in 2016 and bottled 2022, using 94% peated spirit and 6% un-peated then matured using 88% ex bourbon and 12% sherry to give this brilliantly balanced smokey and sweet combo. The nose starts with loads of stewed apples and pears with a sweet saline vanilla character that married with the softer smoke on the palate is great.

The palate offers a touch of sweetness at the start, quickly leading to a spicy, cigar wood & beach bonfire mouth feel. Big flavours bouncing around but there remains a great sweetness in vanilla and butterscotch finish. As you can imagine, a long smoky finished wrapped in vanilla.
