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…
what a revelation - a fan of the big peat, Isla etc. but this slaps you around the face , and says 'what about me- the pretty one, who isn't 'in your face' - but sweet , demure - enjoy me for my clarity of soul and longevity of essence. Many thanks to T and Z for introducing me to this.
So easy to drink My wife loves it.....
Just had a sample from Master of Malt - enjoyed the light taste, really smooth. Highly recommended.
Drink Glenkinchie 12 year old at my local.The Stables in Kirkintilloch. It is first class.
Just picked up a bottle of this from local supermarket as it was on offer, great sub £30 dram if, like me, you like them smooth and subtle.
