Thompson Bros.

Glenburgie 17 Years Old

ABV: 53.7% 70 cL

This 17 years old from Glenburgie Distillery was filled on the 22nd January 2009, and is a marriage of three first-fill bourbon barrels, vatting that has truly created something special. The result is a wonderfully soft and texturally rich dram, full of incredibly vibrant fruit character and a beautifully integrated sweetness.

Bottled in February 2026 by Thompson Bros. at natural colour and no chill filtration.

Nose

Opens up with a bursting of juicy pineapple, papaya, and baked banana. Imagine a perfectly ripe field of yellow fruits, followed by some classic notes of creamy caramel, a touch of polish, and just enough ginger and cinnamon to bring the depth.

Palate

Mango, gooseberry, and a bit of praline, leading into mandarin and beeswax. A little passionfruit reminds us a lot of well-aged Cooley. The cask is completely in sync here, letting the beautiful, fruity spirit shine.

Finish

Medium-long, with lime zest and crème brûlée adding a wonderful twist. Sweet, full of all those amazing yellow fruits, and incredibly satisfying.
