Glenburgie 17 YO - Ballantine's Signature Distillery

Glenburgie 17 YO - Ballantine's Signature Distillery, 43 %

This was the first release out of four to showcase the signature distilleries in the Ballentine’s blend. The four distilleries are Glenburgie, Scapa, Miltonduff and Glentauchers.

The Glenburgie 17 YO - Ballantine's Signature Distillery was released in February 2012 for Travel Retail in Europe and Asia

Nose: Oooh, delightful nose. Cute as a button. Mildly floral, and with lots of fruitiness. Ripe apples of various colors, and fresh top notes of lime zest and home made orange juice. Honey with a touch of cinnamon.

Taste: Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. The palate closely matches the nose - rich fruitiness and a light sweetness.

Finish: Medium long finish. Hints of floral noes now. Some added honey mixed in with the fruits. 

Comment: I have a special place in my whisky heart for Glenburgie. Love it!

Score 88/100
