Glenkinchie
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
A light, aromatic nose with hints of barley malt, almonds, hazelnuts and manuka honey/beeswax.
Very fruity palate with a mix of stewed fruits, dessert wine, apple peels and honey. Becomes quite oaky late palate.
A medium-length finish with barley and freshly mown grass…
Lovely sipper. Massive hit of orange zest/ jaffa cake. Worth a try for the price
Un dramm assolutamente elegante, ottima combinazione di sapori al palato e al naso......da gustare nel più relax possibile.
A delightful malt. Smooth, fragrant and gentle on the nose, toffee apples on the palate and a short, gentle finish. A malt for all occasions and one I would recommend to people just getting into whisky. A highlight delight
Nothing to write home about. Decent dram.
Nose - Pleasant floral, strong heather, slight lemon cake Palate - Sweet, medicinal, very heathery, grapefruit, very herbal, smooth enough for a young spirit, a dry oak taste develops reminding me of being in a sauna breathing in the air With water - nose is much the same A sherry flavour coming through, much smoother, oak, grape, lemon, and medicinal very sweet heather but on a better note than neat When I first got this in 2013, I didn’t like it, the chemical heather taste wasn’t to my liking. But coming back to it, this is a nice dram, it’s a patient mans dram. It needs 15 minutes and water, give it that and you’ve got a beauty. I would recommend sampling this one as the sweet medicinal heather might not be to your liking.
