Single Malt Scotch whisky 700mL, 43% ABV
Glenkinchie 12 years Single Malt Scotch whisky 700ml. Classically approachable Lowland single malt that’s a perfect introduction to the region. It’s light and sweet, with subtle notes of citrus, baked goods and gentle spice. This whisky is perfect as an apéritif or at the start of a meal thanks to its fragrant, light and appetizing body and taste. Serve it in a martini glass with a few drops of water for a little flare.
Tasting notes
Nose: Very aromatic and flowery overall, like breathing in a country garden. Noticeable vanilla, cut flowers (daffodil, blossom and hints of lily) and beneath these, a clean, toasty note. Becomes increasingly sweet and creamy, with a lightly aromatic edge and fresh citrus, which all brings to mind lemon cheesecake. Water makes it still more creamy and scented.
Palate: A sweet soft start, like crême anglaise, soon becoming flowery again. A really smooth delivery, especially after adding a drop of water. The mid-palate is crisp and then the flavor settles into a tightly focused bundle of butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias.
Finish: Herbal and drying, a little like potpourri.
