C. Dully Selection Burnside is a 36-year-old blended Scotch whisky presented as a single-cask release at natural cask strength. The label indicates a 1989 vintage, a 2025 release, and maturation in a bourbon cask, which generally suggests a style shaped by oak, vanilla, and a more spirit-forward view than heavily wine-influenced maturation.
For a novice drinker, this is likely to be a mature, limited bottling with added concentration from long ageing and a relatively robust 52.4% ABV. Older whiskies can show more layered oak influence and complexity, so a small splash of water may help open it up in the glass.
