Product Description

Introducing the Glenkinchie Distillers Edition, an exceptional expression from the renowned Lowlands distillery. This limited-edition whisky undergoes a unique maturation process, which elevates its character and depth to new heights. After spending a decade in refill casks to allow the spirit to develop its soft, signature character, it is then transferred for a secondary maturation in hand-selected Amontillado Sherry casks. This finishing step imparts a distinct richness and complexity to the whisky, adding layers of fruit, spice, and a touch of nuttiness.

On the nose, the Glenkinchie Distillers Edition offers an inviting bouquet of floral aromas, with hints of fresh fruit, nuts, and a subtle sweetness. The palate delivers a perfect balance of soft maltiness, dried fruit, and a gentle spice that is characteristic of the Amontillado influence. The finish is smooth and slightly dry, with lingering notes of honeyed sweetness and a touch of oak, leaving a satisfying warmth.

This expression is perfect for whisky enthusiasts seeking a whisky with added depth and sophistication. Ideal for sipping neat or with a splash of water, the Glenkinchie Distillers Edition provides a delightful drinking experience that showcases the craftsmanship of this historic Lowlands distillery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Glenkinchie Distillers Edition and the standard Glenkinchie 12 Year Old?
The Distillers Edition has been given a secondary maturation in Amontillado Sherry casks, which adds layers of richness, dried fruit, and nutty flavours not present in the regular 12 Year Old expression. This makes the Distillers Edition a more complex and nuanced whisky.

What is Amontillado cask maturation and how does it affect the whisky?
Amontillado casks are sherry casks that have previously held a specific type of sherry known for its nutty, dry characteristics. This secondary maturation imparts subtle flavours of dried fruit, nuts, and a soft spiciness to the whisky, enhancing its complexity and adding a refined sweetness.

How should I enjoy Glenkinchie Distillers Edition?
Glenkinchie Distillers Edition is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its layered flavours. You can also add a small splash of water to open up its delicate aromas and enhance the richness. It’s a superb choice for sipping slowly and savouring its complexity.
