Ruby Port HHD since Sept 2020

Initially founded as Kilnflat, the distillery was renamed Glenburgie in 1871 by Charles Hay who was subletting at the time. This whisky has spent the last few years of maturation in a ruby port cask which has given the spirit a fresh, fruity character. The nose is sweet, with turkish delight, strawberry tarts and red berry coulis. This develops into rose water, blackcurrant jam and Madeira cake on the palate. Notes of cranberries, plums and fresh cut barley round off this dram.

Glenburgie-Glenlivet Information

Based in Alves, Moray, Glenburgie Distillery was founded in 1810 and most of the spirit produced is used for blends - this highlights the role that independent bottlers have in the whisky industry, we provide whisky lovers with an increased chance to enjoy single malts that are hard to find elsewhere.

Glenburgie spirit is grassy and has "outdoorsy" notes. It's sweet and has a slight oiliness too.
