Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Douglas Laing 70cl / 40.8%
Douglas Laing have cracked out the fancy packaging for this Glenburgie 1980, bottled for the XOP Extra Old Particular series, and with good reason as it's a 40-year-old refill hogshead that yielded 233 bottles at 40.8%.
Glenburgie is more historically associated with Douglas Laing's fellow indie bottlers Gordon & MacPhail, but DL must have sneaked one from under their noses. This looks like a cracker.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Immediately delivers on barley with citrus peels then develops to a wonderfully rich, buttery style.
Palate: Mouth-coatingly thick and moreish. there's vanilla cream with a sweet malty character alongside chocolate shavings and ripe apricots.
Finish: The long finish reveals more of that creamy/caramel depth with a warming spicy quality apparent too.

Edradour may be the hidden gem of malts but this is a hidden gem in their line up. Dark, complex and satisfying, don't hesitate for a second, this is not to be missed at this price point.
Initial Smokey smell then a hint of pear drop.
Tried it without water and it had a sharp burning sensation on the palate as you would expect at this strength but once you added water the sharpness mellowed and the sweet vanilla taste came through.
