Ballantine's Glenburgie 15 Year

My final review on the "Ballantine's Single Malt series" is the home of Ballantine's itself: Glenburgie. Is in this distillery that Pernod Ricard blenders make the popular Ballantine's, and they have of course their own single malt. This time is another 15yo expression. The Distillery is well known for Geese who guard the whole place, and they tend to attack strangers. Bottled at 40%abv. On the nose: another super speysider. Toffee, Vanilla, Banana, Caramel, Honey, Sider. On the palate, honey and cereal. Like the honey Corn Flakes for breakfast. Aftertaste has a dry grassy note, with more honey. Overall this is a very nice dram, specially if you are a honey lover. 83 over 100.

I’m definitely getting the green apples and sherry on the nose, the palate is almost like apple juice... sweet, a little tart and after rolling it around a bit it becomes spicy. The finish is short with sweet red apples. It’s pretty easy to drink neat, and I’m enjoying the dram so far.

Nose: Light oak and honey with a malty sweetness and a touch of butter. Palate: Toffee sweetness, honey, a hint of spice, quite thin in body, with subtle pear notes. Finish: Slightly sweet and warming, though a bit short and light.

Nose: Apples, vanilla, oak Palate: Apples, vanilla, honey Finish: Fruits, spicy oak Although this is very nice whiskey it feels kind of thin. Maybe stronger abv would have brought the flavours more up.

Nose: Strong oak presence with mellow fruit and light vanilla. Palate: Rich body with oak influence, smooth and well balanced. Finish: Medium-long, warm, toasty, with a subtle bitterness.
