Glenburgie 1989/2002 (45%, Samaroli, cask #6760, 408 bottles)
Colour: white wine.
Nose: saying this is very young and almost newmaky would be an understatement. Raw barley, baker’s yeast, porridge and touches of lemons and pears. Yet, all that is pleasantly clean and sometimes, being so close to the raw material can be, well, pleasant.
Mouth: sweet barley and grass, then lemon and apples. It’s good average malt whisky, that is to say some not too stylish yet pretty flawless unpeated malt from some not too active bourbon oak. Hard to say more.
Finish: medium, barleyish, malty, sweet, with a grassier aftertaste.
