Glenkinchie – The Essence of Lowland Whisky

Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

Glenkinchie, sometimes called the ‘Edinburgh Malt’ due to its proximity to Scotland’s capital. With a history dating back to 1837, Glenkinchie embodies the traditional Lowland whisky style – smooth, refined, and bursting with fresh, floral complexity.

Glenkinchie 12 stands as a classic example of Lowland whisky. It benefits from a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques. The long fermentation and slow distillation in tall stills contribute to its gentle, approachable style. Aged in American oak casks, it’s a fine single malt to enjoy as an aperitif on a warm evening.
