Simply three Glenkinchie
Lastly, one Glenkinchie for positive, and two ‘secret’ independents which can be certainly Glenkinchie and, by the best way, don’t attempt to make you consider that “it might probably be Daftmill or Rosebank.” Due to them! And moreover, Glenkinchie is good.

Lowland Distillery 9 yo 2014/2024 (48%, Hogshead Imports, refill hogshead, 442 bottles) 
Color: very pale white wine. Nostril: it bursts with gooseberries and recent pear juice, in addition to white desk grapes (small muscat). Then we discover a high quality slice of lemon tarte, one other of rhubarb tarte, and eventually only a tiny contact of grist. Impeccable in its good nudity. Proper, nakedness. Mouth: it’s a bit firmer than anticipated, however in any other case, you get that nervy and virtually refreshing fruitiness—pears, gooseberry, rhubarb, with just a few drops of lime liqueur poured into white beer… Properly, you see the combination. It’s excellent, very recent. End: pretty lengthy, extra herbaceous as standard. Apple peelings and some grape seeds, plus a contact of liquorice. Feedback: it is a very joyful younger malt, virtually empathetic. It was such a good suggestion to go away it in its pure state!
SGP:651 – 86 factors. |

Lowland Distillery 11 yo 2012/2023 (58.8%, The Whisky Change, The Seasons, refill hogshead, cask #3478)
You see how disciplined we’re; this little gem was bottled in winter, but we’ve restrained ourselves to style it in the summertime. Color: straw. Nostril: the cask has been fairly lively right here, although let’s not go overboard – it’s not a double-PX in spite of everything. Beautiful grapefruit, a pinhead of miso paste, fruit leaning in direction of apricots and peaches, with a touch of fennel and dill. It’s very, very, and I imply very beautiful and exact. With water: grated lemon zest, recent hay, elderflower liqueur – simply wants a splash of prosecco and Perrier. Mouth (neat): leaning nearer to the 9-year-old, however nonetheless, you’re speaking a couple of summery malt, and I’m getting a contact of pastis! Additionally, lemongrass, grapefruit, and recent turmeric. With water: it falls again in line a bit, however stays glorious, virtually invigorating. Excellent citrus and winery peaches. End: pretty lengthy, nonetheless with apricot. Feedback: one would possibly virtually want this with out water but in addition over a type of large spherical ice cubes that the Japanese masters like Mr Glen Kin Chi are so expert at carving (that was much more pitiful than standard, S. Completely shameful. -Ed.)

Glenkinchie 15 yo ‘The Supervisor’s Dram’ (60.1%, OB, 2010)
I get the impression that these sequence, which had been fairly wanted again within the day, are flying a bit below the radar recently. But, they had been genuinely chosen by the distillery managers, with little to no interference from Diageo’s advertising and marketing division, or so it appears. To not be confused with the ‘Supervisor’s Alternative’, additionally from Diageo. Color: gold. Nostril: far more cask affect right here, with sweet sugar, vanilla cream, fudge, praline, and particularly heaps of nougat and turrón, maybe even some sesame halva. With water: spiced praline, crème brûlée, a contact of inexperienced walnut, and a touch of fino sherry. Mouth (neat): large, with nougat and café latte on the forefront. Grilled almonds, candied chestnuts, then some gentle curry and a little bit of citrus peel. That’s the cask speaking. With water: not a lot evolution. End: fairly lengthy, nonetheless coherent, with nougat, a little bit of biscuit, and a drop of pepper liqueur… Feedback: fairly cask-driven, might it’s that the warehouse managers and even the coopers lent a serving to hand throughout the choice?

Three types, every charmingly totally different, with a stunning gradation relying on the affect of the casks. I favored all three equally, although I maybe have a slight choice for the primary, the freshest one.
