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 has to be one of the most enjoyable scotches out their. Thank you for the experience.
I am new at the Scotch world but am enthralled with the many aspects of this whiskey. The color is wonderfully golden with an aroma to me as spiced fruit. I did not pick up on the cereals... The pallet was not as smooth as expected, but generous with a full body of nutty fruit. Then there was a wonderful charred flavor that broke to a fruity finish. I was duly impressed with this 12 year.
This is my 100% perfect malt.
color: rich golden nose: fruity, some vegetal and herbal notes emerge with water palate: rich texture, fruity and honey notes finish: fairly short, clean with heather and barley A nice whisky. This is much better than the old Glenkinchie 10 y/o of the past.
I'have received one bottle from my daughter,last June.I've already bought others Glen...,but never with this quality and taste !I'am sure that it will be very difficult to come back now ! Thanks for the pleasure, you give me !
