The Glenkinchie Distillers Edition is a special limited release that showcases the depth and complexity the distillery can achieve with their delicate Lowland single malt. The Master Distiller has carefully selected a small number of Amontillado sherry-seasoned American oak casks to double mature the spirit, complementing Glenkinchie's characteristically fragrant and firm-bodied distillate.
On the palate, this Distillers Edition displays a beautiful balance of sweet and dry notes. The core grassy and floral flavors of the original Glenkinchie are enhanced by intriguing nutty, barley-like qualities imparted by the sherry cask finishing. There are generous hints of dried fruits like grapes and dates, adding a luscious, creamy mouthfeel.
The long, drying oak finish provides a sophisticated conclusion to this layered and nuanced single malt. The fuller-bodied, richer flavors build upon the light, sweet yet dry character that Glenkinchie is known for, making this Distillers Edition a true treat for discerning whisky enthusiasts.
