G&M Glenburgie 28YO 1994 New Vibrations 700ml 52.3%

In a deep gold hue, this whisky presents a generous and powerful nose, showcasing a complex blend of fruity pineapple and pear, spicy clove and ginger, herbaceous alfalfa and cut hay, and vanilla. With aeration, notes of wildflowers like dandelion and daisy add freshness, while a medicinal balm quality emerges. On the palate, it is lively and elegant, with pronounced fruitiness of banana and mirabelle, accompanied by minty and lemony accents, delivering a dynamic attack. The mid-palate reveals luscious notes of white grapes rich with sugars, leading to an impressively long finish that grows increasingly herbaceous with hints of thyme and oregano, along with spicy saffron undertones. The finish is invigorating yet indulgent, with a pleasant malty bitterness at the outset complemented by flavors of licorice and ripe fruits like white currant and Louise Bonne pear. In the aftertaste, harmonious notes of tobacco, candied lemon, and vanilla linger, completing the tasting experience impeccably.
