Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points (Mar 2012)
Wonderfully floral and grassy with accents of honey, citrus, toffee, and orange peel, with hints of star anise, mint, and vanilla. Soft, round, and silky with dry notes of brown spices, oak, and steel cut oats. |
| Technical notes |
Glenkinchie is a light, delicate whisky; Sweet and creamy with a subtle floral fragrance.
This subtly sophisticated Lowland single malt is a superb pre-dinner drink; try it taken straight from the freezer.
APPEARANCE: Pale gold
NOSE: Aromatic, vanilla, cut flowers and beneath, a clean, toasty note. Increasingly sweet and creamy, with fresh citrus, lemon cheesecake.
BODY: Light, smooth.
PALATE: Sweet, soft start becoming flowery. Crisp mid-palate then butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias.
FINISH: Herbal and drying, a little like pot-pourri.

| The Glenkinchie distillery was founded in 1837, and today is one of a handful of remaining Lowland producers. Their 12 year old malt is lightly aromatic, with notes of fresh flowers, lemon, barley, grass and smoke. The palate is crisp but ever so slightly sweet, with flavors of fresh fruits, cut herbs, spicy peat, and a touch of beautifully balanced oak.
