Glenkinchie 1987 Distillers Edition

Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

It's been a while since I've reviewed anything on Connosr, so thought I'd start with something less taxing than the Rollercoaster... This evening I'm sipping on this little number. It's not my usual dram of choice, but I fancied something a bit more lightweight, and this is fitting the bill kind of nicely. A cold January probably isn't the best...

Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

A fine little value whisky here. Nose: Pears, marzipan, with a nice hint of dew and grass. Very clean. After 10 to 15 minutes in the glass, some richness and warmth starts to come through, like caramel. Palate: Huh... much deeper than I expected. This is a pleasant surprise. Dew, more grass, followed by some smoke and salt. Again, like the nose,...

Glenkinchie 1991 Distiller's Edition

This 14 year old, distilled in 91, botlled in 05 was quite pleasant. Its deep mahogany color promised some richness and it delivers. The Nose is sweet with hints of nuts, raisin and malt. The Palate is mellow with a slightly oily and fruity presence. With water it gives up scents of caramel and malt and has a medium-long sweet/sour finish.

So much i do know, that all a malt needs to show it's true colours, is a natural quality...
