Glenkinchie 12

Country: Scotland

Region: Highlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 91 Points

Glenkinchie 12-Year-Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky.The nose is vibrant with lemon-lime citrus, herbal touches of lavender and thyme, dried rose petals, blackberry, and hints of coconut, vanilla, nutmeg, and hazelnut. The taste starts off creamy, then turns tart with a lemon-lime citrus touch that leads to spicy cinnamon for a complex mouthfeel. The cinnamon fades slowly to reveal vanilla, coconut, and lemongrass notes with berry parfait and yogurt touches that last through the finish. Very nice.
