Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten (WhiskyNotes.be) Score: 90/100

Nose: this too is an example of a good American oak cask. Melons, gooseberries and apricots, even a hint of mango. Hints of marzipan and vanilla. Then meadow flowers and a hint of chalk. Rubbed mint leaves and a very light grassy touch.

Mouth: bursting with fruits now. Apricots, melons, mango and green banana. A nice sourness, as well as a faint hoppy side. Whiffs of marshmallow and honey. This could have been Irish whiskey. Later it moves to grapefruits and greener notes (green tea) with a grassy side again. It’s slightly boozy but a few drops of water bring the focus back to the fruity side.

Finish: medium long, still combining citrus, lightly tropical fruits and greener notes.

This is a high-flying fruity whisky that outshines the Caperdonich 2000 in my opinion. Really excellent whisky. The name Glenburgie should always trigger an alarm among whisky enthusiasts.
