This 1998 vintage Burnside 35cl blended malt whisky was chosen as the first Cadenhead’s Club 2024 bottling. Burnside was created by William Grant & Sons and is know as a ’teaspooned’ malt. Intriguingly a tiny amount of whisky from another distillery is mixed with whisky from one distillery. Therefore not sold as a single malt under one distillery’s name.
After distillation in 1998 this whisky was aged for a quarter of a century in a single bourbon hogshead and bottled at 51.4% abv. A delicious balanced release with an abundance of fruit on the palate.


Nose: Full of fruit from the get-go, notes of crisp apple, poached pears, tinned fruit cocktail and peaches in syrup welcome you into this dram.
Palate: The fruitiness continues on the palate accompanied by deliciously sweet notes of perfectly ripe fruit, runny golden syrup and fresh apricots.
Finish: A touch of spice grows and develops in the finish, with notes of nutmeg, kiwi skin and brown sugar to round off this dram.
