Product Information

You may call this a floral nose. Quite some grasses and flowers and pretty grainy too. Only after a few moments do I get some toffee, honey and some pears. Lime creeps in slowly. Some vanilla and nuts. But not much else and to be honest: this is a very mediocre and not very interesting nose. With Water: A few drops of water release a lot of bright, tangy lemon on the nose and palate. I recommend a few drops of water with this one. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The harshness that first befell the drinker has long since disappeared. Indeed, it is a wonderfully soft whisky and its palatable offerings are even more delicate than its smell. Memories of a warm summer’s evening intensify with each tasting. Honey becomes the support actor, and faint liquorice traces leave themselves upon the tongue. Caramel, a late entrant, closes the show. Tried this alongside a tamadhu and a glen scotia dram, and this was probably the most "different" to what I've tasted in the past.

Finish: Sharp and fast. Mildly spicy – oak tannins, earthly and fruity notes. Water adds bitter notes and makes the tannic oak more dominant. Very fresh aftertaste.

At first whiff, you get nothing but alcohol. But this whisky is deceptive, and patience is required if its secrets are to be accessed. With each nosing, it reveals more of its character. A harder, medicinal quality becomes apparent followed by a softer, floral fragrance. These two interplay perfectly, with the floral quality taking centre stage before not too long, accompanied by the faintest trace of tea. The Glenkinchie label was relatively little known until 1989, when United Distillers started marketing it under their Classic Malts brand. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. I didn't really detect any notes that were described in the write up, but I am usually very good at identifying coffees, wines and rums.

In 1969 the distillery stopped malting its own grain and the malting floors were turned into a museum of malt whisky.

No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Like Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie starts life as a (deliberately) sulfury new make, but this character falls away in time to reveal delicacy. As a 10 year old, that sulfur could still be hanging around — one reason for the switch to a 12 year age statement. The improvement is noticeable. Here are gently lifted floral notes, hints of dry grass, and crisp pear. The feel is gentle and slow in the center, while vanilla creeps into the finish. Not complex, but very pleasant.” After opening up with a drop of water, a complex sweetness, like toffee came through - moreso than the tamadhu 12, which I felt was of a less complex sweetness but felt it was less complex than the Glen Scotia's salted caramel feel. The colour is a light-to-medium gold. Very grassy on the nose, with herbs, light butterscotch and orange marmalade. Quite citrusy, actually, with lemon curd and lime pith brightening it up. Mangoes and pears, too - a real fruit bomb. I detect a tiny hit of peat. Maltier (and slightly peatier) with water. Too much orange but it is pleasant enough.
