Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

 

Glenkinchie 12 Bottling Note

This 12 year old is the new entry level bottling from Glenkinchie, released in 2007 to replace the 10 year old.

The nose is quite light, yet fragrant. Notes of fresh cereal and grist, some barley sweetness and a nutty note. Acacia honey creeps in with gentle warmth. The palate is very fruity with notes of Madeira and sweet stewed fruits. A hint of calvados and tannic oak lining the mouth. There is a freshness and roundness to this dram. The finish is of medium length with notes of cereal and a fresh greenness.
