Glenburgie 31 Years Connoisseurs Choice 1990 G&M 70 cl. 52,9%

Glenburgie Vintage 1990 is a Scottish single malt whiskey from Gordon & MacPhail’s Connoisseurs Choice range. The whiskey was distilled 11/9 1990, and was bottled at cask strength 13/12 2021. It has thus spent 31 years in a first fill sherry cask, which has given it an unusually dark, beautiful color, while at the same time it has lots of flavor of old, aged whiskey.

Colour: Mahogany.
Aroma: Dark fruit, cloves and applesauce.
Tasting notes: Dark berries with dark chocolate and roasted almonds, which transition into delicious notes of oak and slightly bitter marmalade.

Serving suggestion: Enjoy it plain, possibly with a few drops of water.

Another sherry bomb from Gordon & MacPhail, this time a single cask 1990 Glenburgie bottled in 2021 at 31 years for the Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range.

Cask #12524 was, unsurprisingly, a first bottling of 31 year old Glenburgie 1990 and yielded 482 bottles at its natural cask strength of 52.9%. This will be great – and this dark whiskey tends to fly out the door, so don’t sleep on this one.

Gordon & MacPhail are to the noble single malt what Lennon & McCartney are to pop music. For more than 100 years, they have insisted on jumping over where the fence is highest. The inherited sense of selecting the absolute best casks from a wide range of distilleries is practiced today as it was 100 years ago. Once the dish is selected, it is transported to G&M’s warehouse in Elgin. Here the cask is looked after and cared for along with thousands of other selected casks until that day in the future, be it five, ten or fifty years down the line, when the whiskey has reached its zenith. Only here are the precious drops bottled.
