29 users have left a review for this whisky and scored it an average of 81.56 points

  1. HammerHead scored this whisky 77 points Connoisseur

    A typical thinned out bottling with an actually interesting nose. Taste is thin, developing into pretty much nothing at all.
    • Nose
      82 82
      Sweet and fruity, vanilla, caramel, pear, apple, grated coconut and quite some rounded spiciness (turmeric, ginger and a whiff of mint). Promising nose for a 40% abv bottling.
    • Taste
      76 76
      A rather thin mouthfeel, sweetish, some vanilla with a light fruitiness of the apples and pears from the nose, mildly dring wood. Not bad as such, just underwhelming.
    • Finish
      73 73
      Short: sweet vanilla and fudge gone in seconds, ending on a dry note reminding me of a Pilsner beer.

  2. Dris scored this whisky 82 points Connoisseur

    • Nose
      82 82
      fresh and fruity, green apples, fudge, vanilly
    • Taste
      82 82
      honey, oat biscuit, baked apples
    • Finish
      81 81
      short, vanilla and bitter oak

    • Nose
      Ha ben, for once, I find that what is written on the box just hits ... Because most of the time I feel a lot except (almost everything) what is announced. I'm right in the pears, but then marked with strength eh! Apples in the background and a touch of vanilla and caramel. Very fruity, very sweet. Typically Speyside. A nose that will appeal to those who appreciate it rather sweet, even to those who thought they did not like whisky.
    • Taste
      Soft, fruity, very light. Again this is, I think, the right plan to introduce whisky to someone reluctant. Always a note of pears but we are mainly on cooked apples, not really an apple pie but we find biscuit notes. Grany style apple cookies. I really like.
    • Finish
      A fairly short finish, but just as sweet and fruity, on pears with a touch of very pleasant ginger. I valid!

  6. Rom scored this whisky 76 points Expert Junior

    The nose leaves in fruity and floral directions. I feel pell-mell exotic fruits, custard with almond and a hint of rose and lavender.
    After this beautiful introduction the mouth is a little ethical unfortunately ... The texture is watery. This malt is seriously lacking in size and power despite the wood structure that a little mouth.
    The finish is very short on some almonds and tannins.
    Pretty little interest finally.

  7. Erik1908 scored this whisky 81 points Expert Senior

    This whisky is part of a few samples of Glenburgie which I got. I guess at 40% abv this one might be the weakest. Nose is promising, but in the taste nothing really happens. No worries, one down 3 to go.

    I would say a nice summer whisky. Nice, fruity and sweet. But do not expect too much of it.

  8. thijs100 scored this whisky 79 points Connoisseur

    While the nose is pretty pleasant, this struggles to reach 80 points in my book. Bit disappointing after a promising start.
    • Nose
      Very light and somewhat tame, but fresh and fruity with a certain maturity. Hints of green apples, also milk chocolate, a touch of honey and vanilla custard. Getting sweeter over time.
    • Taste
      Sweet to start, but also somewhat bitter and fairly spicy. The mouthfeel is pretty thin also. Sandalwood, tobacco. Not much left of the fruitiness.
    • Finish
      Notes of saw dust, pepper and bitterness. Medium in length.

  10. AdelphosHume scored this whisky 83 points Expert Senior

    In my opinion, the most nuanced of the 3 expressions. It's also my favorite of the 3. The mouthfeel is a bit thinner than the others, but the nose and palate offer more. Not bad for only 40%ABV.
    • Nose
      Nag-champa, caramel and mixed-fruits (peaches, raspberries, and dried papaya), light baking spices and honeysuckle, and a soft fade of toasted oak and earthy vanilla.
    • Taste
      Toasted oak and barrel char, dried fruits and honeyed-malt, and soft cinnamon and cordial-soaked cherries.
    • Finish
      Citrus peel and nectarines, soft oak tannins, and a softly fading floral fruit spirit.
