The Glenkinchie 2021 Distillers Edition is a refined twelve-year-old single malt from the Lowlands, double-matured with a finish in Amontillado-seasoned casks. This adds extra weight, richness, and a distinctive nutty depth to Glenkinchie’s characteristically light and floral spirit.
Expect a gentle but expressive whisky — floral and grassy at first, then giving way to nutty and dried fruit notes, with soft oak and a balanced dryness that elevates the elegant Lowland profile.
Taste
Nose: Brisk and brittle, with a complex balance of sweet grape, crisp malt, marzipan, and mellow barley.
Palate: Starts with a gentle biscuit sweetness, then unfurls into dry malt, grape skin, and subtle oak spice, underpinned by a restrained nuttiness.
Finish: Long, dry, and oaky, with very faint peppery spice and gently toasted undertones.
Drinking
Best sipped neat to appreciate its nuanced double maturation. A few drops of water can soften the dryness and highlight the dried fruit and nuttier layers. Also ideal for a slow, contemplative dram.
