Glenkinchie 12 Years

The signature expression of this historic Lowland distillery, located just outside of Edinburgh. Glenkinchie, one of the few remaining Lowland malt distilleries, delivers a light, elegant, and approachable whisky with subtle complexity.

The nose opens with fresh-cut flowers, heather, and orchard fruits like apple and pear, balanced by sweet malt and a hint of citrus. Its bright and floral character makes it immediately inviting and distinctly Lowland.

On the palate, Glenkinchie 12 is smooth and mellow, offering flavors of creamy vanilla, honey, and light cereal notes. A gentle citrus tang enhances the freshness, while a whisper of herbal dryness adds complexity. Matured in American oak casks, this whisky gains a gentle oak touch and smooth texture that complements its lighter flavors beautifully. The finish is clean, slightly drying, and medium in length, leaving impressions of soft spice and malty sweetness.

Bottled at 43%, Glenkinchie 12 Years is perfect for newcomers to single malts or those who enjoy a smooth dram. It also plays a key role in the Johnnie Walker blends due to its balance and brightness.

Enjoyed neat, with water, or in a highball, Glenkinchie 12 showcases classic Lowland elegance and subtle charm.
