- Description
- Glenburgie's 1989 distillate spent 25 years in a refill hogshead before being bottled in 2015, yielding just 223 bottles from this Speyside distillery. Refill oak maturation preserves the distillery's characteristic orchard fruit and subtle spice character while allowing gradual oxidation to deepen complexity. The extended aging develops a honeyed, slightly waxy texture with notes of dried fruit and gentle wood spice. A mature Speyside for those seeking elegance over oak dominance, best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water.
