Glenkinchie, a light and delicate whisky, is celebrated as the perfect choice for sophisticated connoisseurs seeking a pre-dinner drink. Its light character is a result of its distillation in some of Scotland’s largest stills. Matured for 12 years, the result is a light, floral whisky with a fresh, creamy taste. Glenkinchie is ideal as an aperitif Single Malt or at the beginning of a meal due to its fragrant, light, and appetising body and taste.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 43% abv.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Bright gold.
NOSE
Very aromatic and flowery overall, like breathing in a country garden. Noticeable vanilla, cut flowers (daffodil, blossom and hints of lily) and beneath these, a clean, toasty note. Becomes increasingly sweet and creamy, with a lightly aromatic edge and fresh citrus, which all brings to mind lemon cheesecake. Water makes it still more creamy and scented.
TASTE
A sweet soft start, like crême anglaise, soon becoming flowery again. A really smooth delivery, especially after adding a drop of water. The mid-palate is crisp and then the flavour settles into a tightly focused bundle of butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias.
FINISH
Herbal and drying, a little like potpourri.
