Comments:

I finally managed to get my grubby paws on a Glenburgie, which is to say, not the Glencraig whisky distilled in Lomond stills at the Glenburgie distillery. I guess those count as a different distillery altogether. This one is very different from Glencraig - rich, sherried, sweet and flavoursome. It reminds me of mulled Madeira or port, bursting into an intense, short finish that's quite delicious.

Verdict:

I like this.
