Glenkinchie, Distillers Edition 2007, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700 ml, 43.0% abv, Scotland (Lowland)

After mellowing in a refill cask to develop the soft distillery character for a decade, a secondary maturation in a specifically chosen Amontillado cask wood ensures that all the good work continues.

“On the nose cut hay and malted barley. On the palate, biscuity sweet, digestives and hobnobs. Slight toffee finish”

Description

NOSE : Brisk, sharp and brittle. Complex and excellent; astonishing balance between sweet and dry. Firmer, drier notes from soft vanilla to crisp grape. Sweeter, nuttier tones come from the malted barley and cask wood.

BODY : Firm, light to medium

PALATE : Dry, after early biscuit-sweetness. Enormous malt character contrasts with the fruitiness of the grape.

FINISH : Very long, dry, oaky. Very faint peppery notes add spice, softened by very late caramel.
