Single Malt
Scotland
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…
This is a light mellow whisky with notes of alfalfa honey, sun-dried tomatoes, golden raisins and fresh-hewn maple. Not quite nutmeg, but a woody spice. Does not have the clover honey flavor of Jura, but a pleasant, consistent honey note. Even at 43% does not require water to be enjoyed; the flavors will appear with time in the glass.
Had this with a few cigars on my stag do. Got mixed reviews from some of my guests but an overall great drink especially with a cigar really bring out the flavours in the cigar
.....but not vacuous..... goes against the grain of single mslt classics in that it is not heavy, peaty, smoky..... but crisp, mellow, smmooth, creamy n fruity n hint of aromatic spice at the same time....
Its the best for me smooth scotch really great.
Blows Auchentoshan out of the water. Distinct lowland character. You get the citrus tang. It's also got a maltiness about it, that lowland barley. There is also a sweetness about it. 43% ABV fills in the flavor profile well.
