Artist Glenburgie 1995
Review
The Artist line was created in 2011 by La Maison du Whisky, with the goal of highlighting exceptional, noteworthy casks. The 13th release in the collection, it was distilled in 1995 at the then-Glenburgie distillery, and bottled at 58 percent ABV and 28 years old. This whisky should be considered an enticing proposition for deep pocketed aficionados and collectors alike. It opens with stunning fall tones — pungent orchard fruits, cinnamon, cloves, and baking spices. The palate comes across as extremely youthful, with lots of fresh stone fruit and vibrant ginger. There’s just a tingling of spice from the ABV, which you really don't notice is as high as it is. Rich decadence defines a persisting finish, confirming its credentials as a truly special dram to seek out and splurge on.
