Glenkinchie 12 Year Old

A dry, refined character born just twenty miles from Scotland's capital maturally makes Glenkinchie "The Edinburgh Malt". It's aroatic smoothness brings to mind cut flowers and creamy lemon cheescake. Crisp and focused, with a herbal, drying finish, this is an ideal apertif and partner to smoked fish, sushi or scallops.

Tasting Note:
Colour: Pale gold.

Nose:
Very aromatic and flowery overall, like breathing in a country garden. Noticeable vanilla, cut flowers 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.

Body: Light, smooth.

Palate: A sweet, soft start, like crème anglaise, soon becoming flowery again. A really smooth delivery, especially after adding a drop of water. The mid-palate is crisp and then the flavour settles into a tightly focused bundle of butter-icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias

Finish: Herbal and drying slightly, as if were pot-piurri
