Glenkinchie 10 Year Old

Smells delicately sweet with a hint of green grass. The taste has all the above plus a little smoke - nicely dry and sweet together. The finish is fairly gentle, and not that long, but is pleasantly sweet with a hint of spice. Quite pleasant, even refreshing.

Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

It had already been 8 years since I last tried the Glenkinchie 12. That may seems like a very long time (well, it is…), but that has everything to do with the fact that this malt does not have a very good reputation. But going back to basics from time to time is not a bad idea. So… here we go. You may call this a floral nose. Quite some grasses...

Glenkinchie 33 Year Old 1975 Malts of Scotland

The German bottler Malts of Scotland also has a Glenkinchie, from their first year of operation, i.e. 2009. It matured for 33 long years on a sherry cask. Well, by now we know that Thomas Ewers usually bottles little gems. The rest is history. The nose is rather dry, but wonderfully sweet. Almost tropical, in fact. Passion fruit! Some baked...

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.
