Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

The flagship expression from the Glenkinchie distillery, one of the stalwarts of the Lowlands. A fantastic introduction to the region, Glenkinchie 12 Year Old shows off the characteristic lightness and grassy elements that Lowland whiskies are known for, with nods to cooked fruit and Sauternes wine along the way. Brilliant single malt to enjoy as an aperitif on a warm evening.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

A light, aromatic nose with hints of barley malt, almonds, hazelnuts and manuka honey/beeswax.

Palate

Very fruity palate with a mix of stewed fruits, dessert wine, apple peels and honey. Becomes quite oaky late palate.

Finish

A medium-length finish with barley and freshly mown grass…

Much better alternatives

Too many high ratings. I got a dram as a sampler and it was disappointing compared to the other four. Why would you want a “grassy” whisky with extra burn? I agree with another post - for Lowlands, Auchentoshan was delicious.

Very nice

Refreshing and light to the palate

It is pretty neat, neat. Add a spoon of water and it becomes soup.

I don't have that great knowledge and vocabulary and sensitivity to detect all those fruits and smokes and lizards but this drink, NEAT, is pretty neat! Quite flavourful on its own but even a little water dilutes it too much, unlike Laphroaig or Ardmore. For 3,200 in Chandigarh, it is worth it. My top slot is still occupied by Ardmore Legacy and Laphroaig 10, though. Ra.

green Apple, honey, with a grassy/oakey finish. Oiley velvet texture

Disclaimer: I'm usually an islay fan and have a pretty basic palate. This is my first lowland. Let rest for ~10min Nose: boom floral, honey, butterscotch and a bit of spicy nuttiness to it. Palate: Right off the get go you get huge honey flavour, massive green Apple, finished grassy oakey. You also get a bit of a nuttiness to it (sweet nut, like pecan). The texture is quite nice and a bit oily so it sits on the tongue perfect. Something I personal usually attribute to quality whiskey. I got almost no smoke whatsoever.... Just a bit of oak but that may be because of me killing my palate with the smoke of islay Good easy drinker. Decent value. Would buy again but not my usual drinker (that remains to be Corry)

Will probably buy again.

Good smooth drink. The perfect nightcap. Much preferred to Penderyn that I was given at the same time.
