. The flagship expression from the Glenkinchie distillery, one of the stalwarts of the Lowlands.

The Glenkinchie 12 Year old Scotch Whiskey is a subtly sophisticated Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky and a superb pre-dinner drink; try it with a few drops of water.
The lowlands whiskies of Scotland in many respects reflect the landscape they are produced in. The countryside is certainly not without natural beauty, however it lacks the dramatic and rugged contrasts of the Highland and Island regions. Lowland whiskies consequently are generally used as background material for blends and have historically been unappreciated (or at least largely neglected) by malt enthusiasts. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to belittle the Lowlands. Their whiskies offer a refreshing contrast to the heavier, peatier malts of the north with Rosebank and Glenkinchie being two outstanding examples.
Glenkinchie 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes: Nose: Mealy with some sweet grassiness. Apple purée, wet fern and a floral character (lilac) . Some toasty oak below. Good creamy sweetness. Palate: Intense and focused with real lemon tartness to start. Mellows into clotted cream, tangerine and a crisp oak giving balancing grip. Finish: Surprisingly dry. Comment: A huge leap in quality from the old 10 Years Old.
