Expert Reviews
Insights from some of the best in the business
Very pretty on the nose. Violets, sweet grain and orange. Lovely and sweet, slightly syrupy.
Ed Bates 2014, Whisky Magazine, Issue 118, p.106
Like Dalwhinnie, Glenkinchie starts life as a (deliberately) sulfury new make, but this character falls away in time to reveal delicacy. As a 10 year old, that sulfur could still be hanging around — one reason for the switch to a 12 year age statement. The improvement is noticeable. Here are gently lifted floral notes, hints of dry grass, and crisp pear. The feel is gentle and slow in the center, while vanilla creeps into the finish. Not complex, but very pleasant.
Dave Broom, The Whisky Advocate Summer 2012
A decent dram showing the Lowlanders need not lack substance.
Rob Allanson 2009, Whisky Magazine, Issue 79
The nose is fresh and floral, with spices and citrus fruits, plus a hint of marshmallow. Notably elegant. Water releases cut grass and lemon notes. Medium-bodied, smooth, sweet and fruity, with malt, butter and cheesecake. The finish is comparatively long and drying, initially rather herbal.
Gavin D Smith, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.125
The nose is light and flowery, with wet meadow notes and cucumber, the palate is pure barley with a touch of star anise spice and an earthy note.
Dominic Roskrow, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.125
